Wired network

From the server room to every desk

Two dedicated leased lines, one connected to the Tata Teleservices ISP, feed the campus network through a Sophos XG3100 UTM, a Cisco 1841 series router and a Cisco 2960 Catalyst switch in the server room. All computers are on the campus network and have internet access, about 600 PCs over the wired network.

The whole network runs on Cisco managed switches: Cisco 2960 Catalyst at the distribution layer and Cisco 224G4 at the access layer.

Wi-Fi

Academic blocks, hostels and open spaces

Wi-Fi covers all academic blocks, hostels and open spaces, using Ubiquiti U6-LR and Motorola AP 6511 access points indoors and Motorola AP 6532 and AP 6564 outdoors. After office hours the entire bandwidth is used by students in the hostels.
