Simulation and Design of University Area Network Scenario(UANS) using Cisco Packet Tracer

Computer network has become the most significant issue in our day to day life. Networking companies depend on the proper functioning and analysis of their networks for education, administration, communication, e-library, automation, etc. Mainly interfacing with the network is induced by one of the other user/users to share some data with them. So, this paper is about communication among users present at remote sites, sharing this same network UANS. UANS stands for the University Area Network Scenario. So in this work the network is designed using Cisco Packet Tracer. The paper describes how the tool can be used to develop a simulation model of the Pabna University of Science and Technology, Pabna, Bangladesh. The study provides into various concepts such as topology design, IP address configuration and how to send information in the form of packets in a single network and the use of virtual Local Area Network (VLANs) to separate the traffic generated by a different department.
