Chapter one
1.1: Introduction
In this project we will explain how to make WAN connectivity using Switch.
A wide area network (WAN) is a geographically distributed private
telecommunications Network that interconnects multiple local area networks
(LANS).
A LAN is a group of computers and network devices which are all connected to each
other, typically from within a short relative geographical distance. In an enterprise
or business, a WAN may consist of connections to a company's headquarters, branch
offices, colocation facilities, cloud services and other facilities.
Typically, a router or other multifunction device is used to connect a LAN to a
WAN. Enterprise WANs allow users to share access to applications, services and
other centrally located resources.
Businesses, as well as schools and government entities, use wide area networks to
relay data to staff, students, clients, buyers and suppliers from various locations
around the world. In essence, this mode of telecommunication allows a business to
effectively carry out its daily function regardless of location.
Switch: is a network device that is used to segment the networks into different
subnetworks called subnets or LAN segments. It is responsible for filtering and
forwarding the packets between LAN segments based on MAC address.

1.2: Statement of the problem
The problem is to make internet connection to specific ports in switch share files
and folders as link and then make Online Remote Management PC from another
Smart phone and vice-verse. So, the problem here is:
• First there is connection between computers.
• There is no internet connection
• Without connection and internet access nothing goes on.
1.3: objectives and purpose
Main objective:
❖ link all computers together and Share Wi-Fi internet Over Ethernet.
Specific objective:
❖ To Share folders and file in Mega as a link.
❖ To give internet access to specific ports.
❖ To make online Remote Management PC from another Smart phone.
❖ To make online Remote Management Smartphone from PC

Mega cloud storage
MEGA is a cloud storage and file hosting
service offered by MEGA Limited ,The
service is offered through web-based
apps. MEGA mobile apps are also
available for Android and iOS
Chrome Remote Desktop is a remote
desktop software tool, developed by
Google, that allows a user to remotely
control another computer's desktop
through a proprietary protocol also
developed by Google.

Team-viewer
TeamViewer is a remote access and
remote-control
computer
software,
allowing maintenance of computers and
other devices. It was first released in 2005,
and its functionality has expanded step by
step. TeamViewer is proprietary software,
but does not require registration and is
free of charge for non-commercial use.
2.2: project design/ topology
This project is for WAN connectivity using switch, which means you need a central
device like switch to share information between end devices.
The best topology using in WAN network is a star topology, is the one in which each
peripheral node is connected to a central hub or switch.
A concentrator router is being used to ensure that data is properly sent to the
destination. This topology allows easier integration of new network components to
the network, which can be an important consideration for business WANs as it
entails less work and cost.
But in project we are using switch as central device.
The central switch functions as the server for the peripheral nodes or clients. All the
network traffic passes through the central switch and this is the only requirement for
the topology to be classified as a star topology; the network doesn’t have to resemble
a star in the physical arrangement.

2.3: Configurations
1: connect each computer or pc to the switch with ethernet cable.
2: plug the internet sharing computer the 12th port.
3: plug the remaining ports to other pcs.
How to share your wi-fi internet Over Ethernet on Windows 10:
1: right click on your wi-fi icon.
2: select open network & internet settings.
3: select change adapter settings.
4: then select wi-fi and right click on it.
5: select sharing and double tick the allow options.
5
When you share the internet to the switch use a console cable to manage the ports
by giving access to specific ports. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Create V-Lan
❖ V-Lan 10
❖ Name Group B
Step 2: Assigning interfaces to the V-Lan
❖ Interface range fa0/12, fa0/15, fa0/20
❖ Switchport mode access
❖ Switchport access V-Lan 10
Step 3: Ip address assigning
❖ Interface V-Lan 10
❖ Ip address DHCP
So, the computers will get Ip addresses automatically as they are connected to
modem router.

3.1: Testing project steps
Step 1: Setting Up the WAN
• Prepare the computers.
• Prepare the device that you want to use as WAN ex: switch.
• Prepare all other necessary things like cables.
• Connect your ethernet cable to the specified ports in the switch.
• Make sure that all software’s are installed in your computers as well in your
smartphone.
Step 2: Installing software’s
TeamViewer is a popular remote tool that allows you access your Android or
transfer files between your computer and any Android device.
You can also manage your computer remotely with your Android phone. With 256bit AES security and 1024-bit RSA key exchange, you can rest assured that your
transfers are safe.
You can use TeamViewer to access computers behind a firewall as well, especially
useful for remote work.

1.2: Research instrument
The base of our research was Google search engine as it’s the most popular place
to do in research.
We get many articles about our project form there and this helped us very well.
The second instrument we used is YouTube as we go on there to explain some
difficult topics we faced in our project.
The past practice of our senior colleagues also played a vital role to understand
how to search, connect, build, and make a well written and designed project.
