LINUX GROUP PROJECT- DATA NETWORKING

The Project Team

• Shalini Kommajosyula
• Mounika Poddaturi
• Vivek Dutta
• Pranay Harinarthini

Objective of the project

Everybody does not have the resources to implement what they have in mind. Small companies especially, might not have the capital to invest in creating a high-level, sophisticated network design. As a solutions engineer, it is required to build the proposed network in the simplest and most feasible way using basic elements of a network and meeting the specifications.

Elements of the network

The network consists of these main elements-

• DHCP
• DNS
• WEBSERVER AND FIREWALL

Algorithm & Flow Chart

The implementation of the network is based on the following Algorithm and Flow Chart.

• Flow chart

Add Ons implemented

• VPN
• NIS
• Web Server Backup

Future Improvements

• Support for IPv6 version in DHCP, DNS and web server.
• Handling IPv6 and IPv4 versions simultaneously.
• Enhancement in firewall rules
• Configuration of secondary DNS server for load balancing.
