Small Campus Network Solution

Scenario Overview

Targeting primary and secondary schools, training centers, or small vocational school campuses with 100-1000 users, this solution provides a stable, reliable, easy-to-manage, and scalable basic network architecture. It meets the core needs of teaching, office work, security, and full-campus wireless coverage.

## Requirement Analysis

- **Number of Terminals**: 50-300 units

- **Bandwidth Requirements**: Gigabit to the desktop, multi-gigabit backbone, 10G core, and gigabit internet access

- **Key Requirements**: Basic network isolation (teaching/office), video surveillance support, full-campus wireless coverage, centralized and simple operation and maintenance

- **Scalability**: Devices are equipped with redundant ports to support on-demand expansion

- **Reliability**: Critical components of core devices are redundant to ensure stable operation

## Network Architecture Design

- **Core Layer**: 1-2 full 10G managed switches, serving as the network core

- **Aggregation Layer**: 2-4 2.5Gb managed switches, acting as building aggregation nodes to support the network core

- **Access Layer**: Deploy access switches on each floor or functional area. 24-port gigabit PoE switches are recommended for connecting APs, cameras, and computers

- **Wireless Network**: Deploy Wi-Fi 6 APs on each floor or key areas to achieve high-quality coverage

- **Security and Management**: Deploy an integrated security gateway at the network exit, integrating firewall and behavior management functions; an optional simple network management system is available

## Solution Advantages

- **Streamlined Architecture with High Cost-Effectiveness**: Adopts a three-tier architecture (core, aggregation, access), which not only meets performance and isolation requirements but also significantly reduces initial investment and O&M complexity

- **Unified Network with Easy Deployment**: PoE switches directly power APs and cameras, eliminating the need for separate power wiring and enabling rapid project implementation

- **Visualized Policies and Hassle-Free Management**: Through a simple web management platform, VLANs can be configured uniformly and device status monitored. Even non-professional IT personnel can get started quickly

- **Smooth Evolution to Protect Investment**: The performance reserve of gigabit to the desktop and redundant uplink ports ensure the network can meet the growing needs of online classes, high-definition videos, etc., in the next 3-5 years
