We were assigned with the project “CONFIGURATION OF VOIP NETWORK (VOICE OVER INTERNET PROTOCOL)”. Assigned the task of Designing and configuration of routers, computers, laptops, switches, IP phones, servers. We utilized the CISCO packet tracer to deploy the theoretical knowledge in a virtual integrated development environment so as to configure and console the devices. The project is based on the concepts of networking. It includes configuring different network devices like Router, Switch connecting it with systems, servers and IP phones by using different types of connecting wires by allocating the IP Addresses to all the interfaces after the sub-netting of network ID.
In this project the main branch is connected to 2 other networks or locations using Microsoft and Cisco technologies. Main branch include Domain Name Server, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, Internet Information Services, Exchange Server, IP Phones, Cisco Switches, Cisco Routers. It also includes Cisco Link sys wireless Router. The project is based on the concepts of networking.

The beauty of configuring network devices is that it helps to limit the users access.
Switch here is Cisco switch which provides services like creation & management of systems and IP phones in main branch. It is the device which connects the other devices in main branch, router and links to other locations to each other in a network. The information from each system or device i.e. client or server in main branch, router, IP phones and from other locations passes through switch interface. Main Router is responsible for communication between different networks that is, main branch and other networks. The main router here describes the best path to reach the system in a network from a system in another network.
IP Phones refers to the communication protocols, technologies & transmission technique involved in the delivery of voice communication. IP phones uses voice over IP (VOIP) technology allowing telephones calls to be made over an IP network such as the internet. Other routers are used at the entrance of the each network. These routers Receives & send routing updates to and from main router which ensure the reliability of whole network.
