LAN NETWORK MESH TOPOLOGY DESIGN WITH OSPF TECHNIQUE USING CISCO PACKAGE TRACER

Abstract

One of the telecommunication networks that is being developed is the Local Area Network (LAN). LAN has become a technology that is widely used both in companies, offices, campuses, schools or housing. Local Area Network (LAN) is a group of computers that are linked together in a certain area that is not too broad. In this design, a LAN network uses dynamic OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) routing techniques in a mesh topology to connect 4 buildings, each of which has 10 PCs, one switch and one router. OSPF is a routing protocol that is often used in medium and large scale networks. OSPF distributes routing information between autonomous system (AS) routers. OSPF is a routing protocol that uses a link state algorithm to build and calculate the best path to all known destinations. The purpose of writing this journal is to find out how to design a LAN network in a mesh topology with the open shortest path first (OSPF) technique.
