Abstract.This paper relates the part of a cisco
packet tracer for a case study to design and
simulation virtual local area network. In this case
study was carried out aimed at implementing the
method LAN-Switching using VLAN to break up
broadcast domains into segments, so as to
improve network performance. It additionally
makes educating simpler, understudies and
instructor can make their own particular situation
based labs also, gives genuine reproduced and
representation environment cisco packet tracer has
part of components to make different situation

that there are different advantages and focal points
of utilizing a cisco packet tracer as a part of
learning fundamental and critical ideas of

network. It is a simple and easy to use device to
comprehend different ideas of computer networks.
INTRODUCTION
Network designs, encompasses all areas of human
enterprise. We find networks in the home,
marketplace, offices and schools making it possible
for resources to be shared in a consolidated platform.
Networking plays a critical role in business
performance of any organization. Efficiency and
communication is guaranteed in a well- designed
network (Kelechi et al., 2014). The network based on
TCP/IP protocol permits the efficient routing of data
packets based on their IP address. Routers are used in
the network to control and forward data (Nazumudeen
and Mahendran, 2014).
Most of the Organizations such as public and
private sectors have started deploying computers to
their employees to perform their daily work and
has enabled to operate their businesses much faster
and more conveniently and also make easy for the
organization; there are some problems still faced by
the organization such as poor network design
(Kelechi et al., 2014). CISCO’s VLAN trunking
protocol reduces administration in a switched network
(Verna, 2013). VLAN is one of the security
mechanisms that can solve the authentication
problem. VLANs also offer network operators
flexibility for specifying management and security
policies within an enterprise and allow operators to
implement some level of isolation by separating hosts
into different broadcast domains (Ameen and
Nourildean, 2013). VLANs can help reduce network
traffic by forming multiple broadcast domains, to
break up a large network into smaller independent
segments with fewer broadcasts being sent to every
device on the overall network (Tambe, 2015). This
paper indicates to redesign Local Area Network by
using VLAN and ACL solution (Shaffi and Al-
Obaidy, 2012).
TEORITICAL BACKGROUND Vlan
Networking
What happens if we need a virtual connection
between two stations belonging to two different
physical LANs? A virtual local area network (VLAN)
is defined as a local area network configured by
software, nVirtual LANs (VLANs) have recently
developed into an integral feature of switched LAN
solutions from every major LAN equipment vendor
(Pal and Pal, 2013). In networking, a LAN has a
single broadcast domain and the traffic from a
workstation reaches other workstations on the LAN
through the broadcast. This is not desirable as certain
classified information can be received by
unauthorized parties. Also, if the broadcast is not well
contained, it can lead to collision in the network
(Alimi and Mufutau, 2015).
Virtual LAN technology is used in the design of
internal networks of universities, organizations and
enterprise networks. VLAN is a data link layer Routing
