A majority of companies depend on the proper functioning of their networks for communications, administration, automation, e-business solutions, etc. The Local Area Network (LAN) is the most basic and important computer network owned by individual companies and could be used for interconnection with wide area networks. A LAN permits effective cost sharing of high-value data processing equipment such as mass storage media, mainframe computers or minicomputers, and high-speed printers. Resource sharing is probably equally as important where a LAN serves as the access vehicle for an intranet or the Internet. In view of this, system managers need professional tools to help them with the design and maintenance of LANs. A simulation tool offers a way to predict the impact on the network of a hardware upgrade, a change in topology, an increase in traffic load or the use of anew application. So in this paper, a LAN network is designed using Cisco Packet Tracer. The paper describeshow the tool can be used to develop a simulation model of the LANfor the College of Engineering of the University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Nigeria. The study provides an insight into various concepts such as topology design, IP address configuration and how to send information inform of packets in a single network and the use of Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) to separate the traffic generated by different departments.

INTRODUCTION  \nThe need for computer networking was borne out of the need to use personal computers for sharing information within an organization in form of messages, sharing files and data bases and so forth. Whether the organization is located in one building or spread over a large campus, the need for networking the computers cannot be over emphasized. As the name implies, a Local Area Network (LAN) interconnects computers in a limited geographic area. It provides high-bandwidth communication over inexpensive transmission media [1] . The corporate LAN has evolved from a passive background business component to a highly active, visible core asset that enterprises rely on to support day-to-day operations critical to their market success. Today’s network is a strategic instrument that must be accessible anytime from anywhere-simultaneously offering fast, secure, reliable services at scale regardless of location [2] . The main purpose of a network is to reduce isolated users and workgroups. All systems should be capable of communicating with others and should provide desired information. Additionally, physical systems and devices should be able to maintain and provide satisfactory performance, reliability and security. Resource sharing is probably equally of immense importance where a LAN serves as the access vehicle for an intranet or the Internet [2] . In view of this, system managers need professional tools to help them with the design and maintenance of LANs [3] . A simulation tool offers a way to predict the impact on the network of a hardware upgrade, a change in topology, an increase in traffic load or the use of anew application. So in this paper, a LAN network is designed using Cisco Packet Tracer.  \nCisco Pac","cbCaipzuB7MvZ5J4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipzuB7MvZ5J4","pdf",518358,15,"English","# Introduction\n## Network topology and LAN purpose\n## Cisco Packet Tracer for simulation\n## Study organization\n# Network topology\n## Component interconnectivity","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of the paper?\",\"answer\":\"The paper focuses on designing and simulating a Local Area Network using Cisco Packet Tracer, including topology design, IP address configuration, packet communication, and VLAN-based traffic separation.\"},{\"question\":\"Why are LANs important for companies?\",\"answer\":\"LANs enable effective cost sharing of high-value equipment and provide an access vehicle for intranets or the Internet, supporting resource sharing and reliable communications within a limited geographic area.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Cisco Packet Tracer support the LAN design process?\",\"answer\":\"Cisco Packet Tracer is used to create and analyze network behaviors by implementing topologies, configuring servers and addressing/subnetting, and performing analysis and troubleshooting commands before deployment.\"}]","Design and Simulation of Local Area Network Using Cisco Packet Tracer | PDF",1792967278,38]
