Communication has always been an import part of life and its importance came to light as internet and intranet technology has started to constantly evolve and users looking for increasingly sophisticated services and thus Networks have been laid out all around the globe at different levels for their respective needs and necessities. Without networks the communication between two individual bodies present in different location would seem impossible. The network has woven itself into the very fabric of our lives. We worked on a problem for Campus Area Network, also known as CAN, and its potential gaps that can be a channel for hackers to penetrate the organization, and we presented a smart and safe network architecture for colleges to boost security and limit the danger of any type of threat. This architecture consists of various departments which are often found in most of the colleges and each of them housed in different buildings and this architecture is secured by VLANs, ACLs and IoT monitoring systems. This entire simulation is duplicated and laid out in Cisco Packet Tracer, which allows us to configure all parts of the network and its respective devices and imitate its working as in the real world.
