Current Needs

New IP scheme for all locations Routing Configuration for all locations Switched Gigabit Ethernet for New Orleans High school

and Baton Rouge High School A LAN and WAN design capable of providing high-speed

transfer of files, email and multimedia materials. Servers located in a DMZ WIFI for Baton Rouge and New Orleans High Schools Secure WAN and LAN design Integrated voice and video application into all of the 7

schools with QoS Uptime of 99.999% Turn-key installation

Technical Proposal

All buildings will be connected through the cloud through a single connection using MPLS.

The two core campus buildings (New Orleans High School and Baton Rouge High school) will have dual connections out to the cloud.

All router and switches will support Vlans, Gigabit Ethernet, and QOS.

All buildings will route internal traffic to the core buildings for centralized control and support of network applications.

All hardware will have dual connections to reduce downtime in the event of a link or hardware failure.

New Orleans High School and Baton Rouge High Schools will have Wireless 802.11N, deployed throughout the entire campus.

A new IP scheme will be deployed that will support summarized routes for routing across the cloud and the internal schemes allow for expandability when the need arises.

MPLS

Verizon MPLS provider MPLS Router at ever location BGP MPLS routing protocol

QOS

Quality of Service (QoS) will be implemented in on the routers to give voice traffic higher priority. This will insure that packet traffic for voice and other media connection will not be delayed or dropped due to interference from other lower priority traffic

Security

Security Infrastructure Switches- Secure management, change

controls, encryption communications and utilizing ssh and Radius.

Network – IDS/IPS solutions, MD5 authentication and other network monitoring tools such as packet captures and monitors.

Routing

Enhanced Interior Gateway Protocol (EIGRP) will be used as our interior routing protocol. EIGRP allows routers to share information it knows about the network with neighboring routers within the same logical area. Unlike other routing protocols EIGRP only shares information that other routers don’t already have. EIGRP reduces the workload of the router and the amount of data that needs to be transmitted between routers.

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) will be used as our exterior routing protocol. BGP is designed to exchange routing and reachability information between autonomous systems on the internet.
