PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF A MULTI-SUBNET VLAN-BASED NETWORK WITH INTER-VLAN ROUTING
Description
the structured design and implementation of a hierarchical enterprise-style network, emphasizing the configuration of Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs), inter-VLAN routing, and the analysis of network performance metrics. Students will configure VLANs across multiple switches, implement a router-on-a-stick architecture to enable communication between subnets, and validate connectivity using diagnostic and monitoring commands. The practice extends beyond basic configuration to include segmentation for scalability and security, static routing for interconnectivity, and performance evaluation under simulated congestion conditions. By combining theoretical principles from the OSI and TCP/IP models with practical implementation, students will be able to critically evaluate the relationship between network design choices and measurable performance indicators such as delay, throughput, and packet loss.
