Analyzing and Implementing a Hierarchical Network Architecture for MUG (Methodist University Ghana)
Forging a resilient, high-performance digital backbone for MUG through strategic network redesign and robust security enhancements.
This capstone project strategically overhauls Methodist University Ghana's (MUG) network infrastructure.
Our vision is to establish a high-performance, secure, and scalable digital environment that effectively supports MUG's academic and administrative excellence.
The scope involved a comprehensive analysis of the existing network, guided by the OSI model, leading to the design and proposed implementation of a robust hierarchical architecture.
The challenges we encountered and our layered solutions are outlined in the subsequent sections.
Incorrect AP placement and environmental blocks leading to poor Wi-Fi coverage.
Open wireless policies creating vulnerabilities and unauthorized access risks.
Single broadcast domain causing excessive ARP traffic, congestion, and instability.
Oversized /19 subnet contributing to unnecessary broadcast and poor management.
