TARGETING A COMPUTER NETWORK IN A UNIVERSITY CENTER

In the modernization of technology and its media, it is observed that the amount of electronic components interconnected to local networks and the worldwide network of computers is numerous and only grows with each passing day. Activities in institutions in general have become fully connected, sectors are reputable and connected to a network of computers generating and receiving data. The project addressed focuses on explaining a situation and informing the reader about the relevance of data traffic control on a local network, ensuring the delivery and receipt of data competently and securely to destinations, without interference from other unauthorized internal connections and thus being external connections. The use of virtual local networks aims at accurately segmenting the network making it independent of physical topology, ensuring cost savings and broadcast traffic control resulting in an easy-to-administer network and increased security. The results obtained in the implementation of segmentation proved to be very effective in terms of monitoring and isolation of some sectors, with this diluted some problems that existed in the issue of information security.
