A suitable campus-wide computer network should be designed as a structured and secure network so that classrooms, laboratories, library, administrative offices and hostels can share resources and access the Internet efficiently. A hierarchical network based mainly on a star topology would be appropriate for such an institution. In a star topology, all computers and network devices are connected to a central switch. For a large campus, several departmental switches can be connected to a central or core switch. This arrangement is easy to manage, expand and troubleshoot. If one computer or cable fails, the other computers continue to operate. Fibre-optic cables can be used between different buildings because they provide high speed and support longer distances. A campus network mainly uses a LAN, or Local Area Network, within individual buildings such as classrooms, laboratories, libraries and offices. A MAN, or Metropolitan Area Network, is used when networks are connected across a larger geographical area such as different campuses within the same city. A WAN, or Wide Area Network,
