CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Introduction
An internship program is known by giving students the opportunity to apply their
knowledge in real-world environments. At the same time, we students will also develop
skills that will help us to perform better at the real world jobs, so based on its aim I have
conducted my intern program. Therefore this report describes my experiences as a
fifthyear Arba Minch University Intern student at the company called the Arba Minch
university Information and Communication Technology Center (AMU – ICTC), which is
located in the southern Ethiopia Gamo Zone of the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and
Peoples Region about 500 kilometers south of Addis Ababa and is the largest town in
Gamo Zone called Arba minch.
The internship is part of the curriculum requirement for one semester means that for 4
months, from October 13, 2006, to February 30, 2006. It generally describes the whole
tasks I did in the intern program, the experience and practice work benefits I got, the
challenges faced and measures are taken to solve it.
Currently, information and communication technology is important to develop national
with national as well as a country with country and continent with continent come to the
same information shared with at the same time in the world.

1.2 Historical Background of the Company

1.2.1 Brief history of the company
Arba minch University network infrastructure was originally designed and implemented
by a local company called Global Computing System (GCS) in 2003 and it was fully
operational in 2005. This LAN was implemented only on the main campus and it was
Ethernet access technology [1].
The original network was not connected to the internet, so security was not that much
importance. But after the network was connected to the internet, security becomes a
considerable issue. Due to these different security measures has been undertaken. But
most of the security controls were concentrated on Firewall using Access control lists
1
 (ACL) and also presently proxy. The university was connected to the internet through
satellite access; this was a relatively slow and insecure connection. Now it is replaced by
a fiber link internet connection. And on 8 March 2009 the internet connection bandwidth
has been increased to 6 Mbps but as the number of campuses grown to five the
bandwidth requirement highly increase and in June 2011 onwards 100mbps which AMU
currently connected to ETC. That means AMU downlink capacity is 100 Mbps and
uplink is 12 Mbps.
Currently, AMU has five campuses connected by a fiber link which is a redundant ring
topology, recently all the campuses are interconnected with 10Gb fiber optics cable
backbone in a ring fashion. For the provision of unified Communication service (various
internet/intranet services), a well hierarchically designed network connecting all the
buildings has been established. Over 5000 network nodes are already joined the LAN. At
present all the campus are having cabled LAN and unguided connections almost
everywhere on the campus’s premises including offices, libraries, staff residence, student
Dormitory, PG hostels, Cafeterias, Lecture theaters, etc. ICT has a number of services for
the AMU community both academic and administrative staff in the areas of operational
service and system, network and network security and customer support.

1.2.2 The main products or services of the AMU ICTC

Arbaminch University Information and Communication Technology Center are giving so
many products or services in Universities. This ICT has a great contribution to the
development of the University. ICTC staffs are currently working on a number of

2. 1 work, responsibilities and assignments

In AMMA, work tasks that I have been executing during my internship period are the basic
network cable and wireless installations and network maintenances work through each campus.

2.2 Main Campus New finance building Network Cabling System

Installation

2.1.0 Network cabling systems installation

The network was been designed. While it’s time to run the wires, set up the patch panels,
string the fiber, and configure the switches [2].
Network Installation is Services provides high-quality ICT system design and installation
services for the campus students’ and employees' data, voice, video, and share documents
from main campus intranet resources. Network Cabling Systems, (NCS) is especially to
the installation of structured cabling systems with an emphasis on new construction
network, NCS can provide the copper and fiber cabling needed to connect voice/video
and data across the LAN or WAN. NCS also offers wireless access points and CATV
installation.

2.1.1 Precondition of NCS Installation

Networking

A network consists of two or more computers that are linked in order to share resources,
exchange files, or allow electronic communications. The computers on a network may be
linked through cables, telephone lines, radio waves, satellites, or infrared light beams.
Two very common types of networks include:

 Local Area Network (LAN)

 Wide Area Network (WAN)

Local Area Network

5
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a high-speed data network that covers a relatively mall
geographic area. It typically connects workstations, personal computers, printers, servers,
and other devices. LANs offer computer users many advantages, including shared access
to devices and applications, file exchange between connected users, and communication
between users via electronic mail and other applications Wide Area Network

Wide Area Networks (WANs) connect networks in larger geographic areas, such as the
United States, or the world. Dedicated transoceanic cabling or satellite uplinks may be
used to connect this type of global network.

Figure 2 LAN and WAN

Protocol
A protocol is a set of rules that governs the communications between computers on a
network. In order for two computers to talk to each other, they must be speaking the same
language. Many different types of network protocols and standards are required to ensure
that your computer can communicate with another computer located on the next desk or
half-way around the world. The OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) Reference Model
defines some of the networking protocols. However, can be simplified into the following
forms with their identify some of the common protocols.

Table 2 protocols

 OSI Layer Name Common Protocols
7 Application
6 Presentation HTTP / FTP /SMTP /DNS
5 Session
4 Transport TCP | SPX
3 Network IP | IPX
2 Data Link Ethernet
1 Physical
OSI model related to common network protocols

Table 1 illustrates how some of the major protocols would correlate to the OSI model in
order to communicate via the Internet. In this model, there are four layers, including:
 Ethernet (Physical/Data Link Layers)
 IP/IPX (Network Layer)
 TCP/SPX (Transport Layer)
 HTTP, FTP, Telnet, SMTP, and DNS(combined Session/Presentation/Application Layers)

A. Ethernet (Physical/Data Link Layers)

The physical layer of the network focuses on hardware elements, such as cables, switch and
network interface cards. By far the most common protocol used at the physical layer is Ethernet.

B. IP and IPX (Network Layer)

The Internet Protocol (IP) or Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) protocol is the network layer
Which in charge of routing network messages (data) from one computer to another.

C. TCP and SPX (Transport Layer)

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or Sequence Packet Exchange (SPX) is the transport
layer that concerned with efficient and reliable transportation of the data packets from one
network to another.

The Internet has revolutionized many aspects of our daily lives. It has affected the way
we do business as well as the way we spend our leisure time. The Internet is a

7
 communication system that has brought a wealth of information to our fingertips and
organized it for our use.

D. HTTP, FTP, SMTP and DNS (Application Layers)

Several protocols overlap the session, presentation, and application layers of networks.
Their protocols listed below;

DNS - Domain Name System - translates network address (such as IP addresses) into terms
understood by humans (such as Domain Names)
FTP - File Transfer Protocol - a protocol that is used to transfer and manipulate files on
the Internet.
HTTP – Hypertext Transfer Protocol - An Internet-based protocol for sending and
receiving Webpages.
SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol - A protocol for e-mail messages on the Intern

3. Networking Hardware
Networking hardware includes all computers, peripherals, interface cards and other
equipment needed to perform data-processing and communications within the network.

Figure 3 Networking Hardware Component

Generally, this figure shows provides information on the following components:
• Workstations
8
• Network Interface Cards
• Switches
• Repeaters
• Bridges
• Firewalls

a. Firewalls

A firewall is a system or group of systems that enforces an access control policy between
two networks. The actual means by which this is accomplished varies widely, but in
principle, the firewall can be thought of as a pair of mechanisms: one which exists to
block traffic, and the other which exists to permit traffic. Some firewalls place a greater
emphasis on blocking traffic, while others emphasize permitting traffic. The firewall uses
rules to filter traffic into and out of the private network, to protect the private network
users and data from malevolent hackers.

b. Workstations
Computers that humans use are broadly categorized as workstations. A typical
Workstation is a computer that is configured with a network interface card, networking
software, and the appropriate cables. c. Switches

A Switch is a network device that typically operates at the Data Link layer (Layer 2) of
the OSI model. A switch performs the its job by examining the Data Link Layer (Layer
2) data packet and forwarding the packet to other devices based on Layer 2 addresses
(MAC Addresses). Switches function of using Data Link Layer (Layer 2) addressing
system, also known as MAC addresses.

4. Intranet

With the advancements made in browser-based software for the Internet, many private
organizations are implementing intranets. An intranet is a private network utilizing
Internet-type tools, but available only within that organization. For large organizations,
an intranet provides an easy access mode to corporate information for employees.

9
 5. Internet
The Internet is a system of linked networks that are worldwide in scope and facilitate data
communication services such as remote login, file transfer, electronic mail, the World
Wide Web and newsgroups. With the meteoric rise in demand for connectivity, the
Internet has become a communications highway for millions of users. The Internet was
initially restricted to military and academic institutions, but now it is a full-fledged
conduit for any and all forms of information and commerce. Internet websites now
provide personal, educational, political and economic resources to every corner of the
planet.
6. Main Campus Network maintenance
Network maintenance is to keep the network available within service and at acceptable
performance network connection levels. Network Maintenance is also resolving and
repair network problems, Identify the problem, find ways to isolate the cause and to
correct the problem and finally, prevent it from any hurt or damage. There are two types
of network cable maintenance: preventative maintenance and post-fault maintenance.

A. Preventative maintenance: - it is maintenance, which is before a fault or problem occurs.

That the type of maintenance involving such work as:
 Periodic testing: means that detection of cable loss increases and deterioration.
 Cable degradation testing: means that Measurement of cable fault location.
 Network element control: means the identification of the cable transfer system.
B. Post-fault maintenance: - it is maintenance, which is after the occurrence of a fault or
problem.

That the type of maintenance involving such work as:

 Reception of transmission system alarm or a trouble report: means that interface with path
operation system
 Cable fault testing: This means that Fault distinction between transmission equipment and
cable network.
 Cable repair/removal: means that cable identification and restoration/permanent repair
transfer system.

 CHAPTER THREE

3.1 technical aspect of the internship

3.1.2 Objectives
To boost the working capability of the employers of the A Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) Agency by;

 Installing and maintaining network cables at the data center.

 Maintaining software and hardware parts of computers and devising a better way to keep
the components of normal status at the data center.
 Getting to know the overview of the VC.

3.2 Statement of the problem

A data center is a technical building that is used to house computer systems and its
associated components like telecommunication and storage systems together. Back-up
power supplies, redundant communication connections, environmental controls, and
security devices. The datacenter is a technical facility that has various energy-consuming
equipment such as servers, network devices, data storage devices, and cooling units, etc.
As a whole, these equipment process, store and transmit digital information is termed as
IT equipment [3]. In this thesis, there were many issues that have been solved technically.
The first problem is how to Installing and maintaining network cables at the data center
and the second is Maintaining software and hardware parts of computers and devising a
better way to keep the components of normal status at the data center ware difficult.
Lastly, get a deep knowledge of the overview of VC.

3.3 Methods and Procedures

3.3.1 Methods
As we all know, there are two sources of data; primary and secondary data sources. Therefore, I was
using these methods of data collection.

3.3.1.1 Primary data sources

The Primary data sources are: 1 Interview, 2 Observation
1 Interview: essential information is gotten from the pragmatic work. This helped me to
accumulate data legitimately from the representatives by posing such huge numbers of inquiries
at the workplace about the organization working framework, the executive's framework, and what
they are doing at a given time. If any unclear concept from the employees, I can contact my
supervisor at the normal schedule.

11
 2 Observations: I collected so much information by using this method of data collection. To
understand the confidentiality willingness share of knowledge and work ethics of the workers I
have not asked any question rather than observing the fact. This method helped me to judge and
draw the best conclusion about the facts.

3.3.1.2 Secondary data source

 Internal sources- Different documents provided by concerned officers and different

circulars, manuals and files of the organization.

 External source- Different websites related to the company and online resources.

3.3.2 Procedures

 Step 2

 Remove the insulator cover of the cable.

Step 3

 Untwist each pair of wires down to the sheathing. If you’re working with CAT-6 wire, cut
the center core down to the cable end.
 Layout the side of the wire by side in this order: white-orange; orange; white-green; blue;
white-blue; green; white-brown; brown.

13
 Step 4

 Trim all the wires to the same length, 1/2-3/4 in. from the sheath.

Step 5

 Insert the wires in the order specified in Step Two above into the RJ-45 plug. The cable
sheath should extend into the plug by about 1/2 in. and will be held in place by the crimp.

Step 5’

Step 6

14
 Crimp the terminal with the appropriate crimping tool.

Step 7

Make sure the wires are in the right order, extend to the front of the plug and make good contact
with the metal contacts in the RJ-45 plug.

Repeat project steps one through four to attach a connector on the other end of the cable.

3.4 Technical tasks/products

This is my first result from my tasks after thorough observation of a series of steps from my
supervisor.

Figure 5 Technical produce

3.5 Knowledge and Acquaintances Acquired

I have gained some skills during the four-month of the internship program. Some of them include:-

 I have gained knowledge about how organizational structure looks like and how to behave in a
company.

15
 I have learned about working processes and principles in industries.

 I have learned how important it is to be punctual!

 I had improved my technical and personal skills that I had learned theoretically, after becoming
familiar with new techniques and methods.

 I sometimes exercised individual responsibility and develop strong teamwork skills with the
employees.

 I build up a network of professional contacts for future opportunities and references.

3.5.1 Technical skills gained

The following were the technical skills I obtained during my four Months of practice in the real
world.

In general, I developed confidence on;

 Trying to do practical work without any fear.

 Looking for the problem in the field and giving a quick and effective response to solving
it, if any.  Develop how to synchronize within the

 By checking from internet sources.
2 Observation
A management system is a basic tool for success. The management system is meant to
coordinate the employers with their managers, which makes the smooth functioning of any
company, to deliver their order effectively. A good management flow system initiates
participation in everyday duties. I had learned that “being a manager is not to hurt your
16
 employees in any way, but is to keep their interests. “Therefore, to be a good manager is to be
fair and judges any problem in four directions always.

3.5.3 Acquaintances acquired

As successful entrepreneurship, I have to work closely with people. This is critical to be able
to build a great relationship with the team, customers, suppliers, some holders and more.
From this field practice I had grasped the following type of interpersonal skills:

 Improving my interpersonal communications with others who are strangers both my friends and co-
workers of the hosting company, Arbaminch -ICT agency. I have met different groups at the
company beginning from the guards up to higher officials & managers so that I can face various
personalities. Finally, I have learned how to adapt to the different cultures and be able to value
differences regardless of age, position or whatever category.

 Politeness in order to live with peaceful Co-existence and to implement fruitful work.

 Motivation in building good relations.

 Ethics.

 Knowledge.

CHAPTER FOUR
In most countries around the world, there are many enterprises that represent the main
gates for entrance and exit. Because of the importance of these places, each country
takes many necessary measures to provide them with the best technology. Enterprises
are the most sensitive places around the world because they represent these gates.
Technology plays many different roles to protect and represent a high quality of
services for these places. Computer networking is the most crucial part of modern
airports because this new technology takes the most important responsibilities, rather
than people doing the tasks as in previous decades.

4.1 Project Scope and Network requirements

The scope of this project is the design and implementation of a network for commercial
banks of Ethiopia in Addis Ababa and its branch located in other areas.
Network requirements:
 All 80 employees are interconnected with LAN or WAN
 We have accommodated about 200 IP address, science everyone has a smartphone and
requires internet connectivity
 The employee needs internet access
17
 Only cisco networking devices are used
 The network must be secure, redundant and fast

4.2 Network Design strategy

4.2.1 Developing security design strategy

Network security is the most important attribute of any computer network, especially
with the increasing release on neighborhood systems for key functions and operations.
People communicate in different ways with each other with emails, social websites
and other tools that make the communication very easy. As these tools improve, the
danger will be defending against the computer networks around the world. From
ongoing threats and international companies that spend a lot of money on network
security on their local network to protect it from hackers. Despite this destination, the
risk is across the whole system since these departments could be involved in the data
transfer through network elements. It is difficult to control any computer network
from outside attacks unless this network is isolated from the outside world. In this
design, the transaction, request, and ATM with drowning are the most untrusted and
least secure department on account of the diversity of users. Moreover, as these
departments are connected by the same network, persons from each one of these
departments can become on inside threat [4].

1) Firewalls

Firewalls are the first step toward a high-security level and a primary
mechanism for the design presented here. These devices are a well-known security
system for any computer network. They are used for controlling the packets and data
that create a zone inside and outside the network. The firewall allows for a higher
degree of trust for the system behind it, as externs hosts generally excluded. In
standard configuration, firewalls will trust the inside activity, and the configuration of
the device will give a low level of security because of the trusted people inside the
organization. Otherwise, the outside activity like internet connections or the
connections that establish out the local network will be untested. Therefore, the
network administrates team responsible for managing the network inside an
organization will give a high level of security for the outside connections inside,

18
some of these levels reach 100% of security. For that reason, these firewalls filtered
packets from hosts the outside and deny any untrusted connection depending on
created rules. Exchanging the information inside and outside the network. The local
network has been configured to limit the access from outside, this task has been
assigned to the by the proxy server which has already been installed for the Airport
network. The ruleset of the project’s firewalls follows a design structure that reflects
security for each position [5].

1. The internet service providers (ISPs) were connected to the firewall to

control the data exchange from outside to inside the airport network (the Internet to the
local network).

2. The second firewall was placed in the Flight Management Database Server
as shown in figure 1.
3. This firewall was attached to one of the flight management switch ports.

As a result of this design, the security level for all network and specifically in the
Flight Management Department was increased dramatically because of the security
policy which installed for each firewall the first result of the design was filtering the
transmitted data through the internet. Each device inside the airport’s network can be
accessed through any website from the Internet because the outside security level was
set up with zero security level. Otherwise, the inside network set up with a high-
security level to prevent the outside activities from entering the local network. As a
final result, this will protect the inside network from any hackers and untrusted
connections as shown in figure management strategy [6].

4.3 Hardware quantity analysis (Main and branch locations)

In the main branch of the enterprise design server, multilevel switch, switch, and hostess
can be used to provide a quality network.

4.4 TCP/IP Subnet Design

The TCP/IP design can be done by Using an Online IP calculator to determine the
address, netmask, wildcard, network address, broadcast address, minimum host
maximum host and host/net= private address [7].

NETSIM, no problem

4.7 Expected budget

The budget is the money required to complete the enterprise network project for different
activities held in the designed project. So, for a time being the proposed research is
requiring a total of nine thousand eight hundred and fifteen birrs (9815ETB) birr only to
accomplish this project and the specific budget needed for each particular activity is
mentioned in the table below

CHAPTER FIVE
Summary and conclusions

4.1 Summary

This report is about to explain what we did and learned during our internship period with
AMMA ICTC, Network maintenance in AMMA Network cable installation. As the main
purpose of the internship is to learn by working in a practical environment and to apply
the knowledge acquired during the studies in a real-world scenario in order to solve the
problems using the knowledge and skill learned during the academic process. We have
discussed the AMMA network, which WE observed and perceived during my internship
program. This report is divided into four sections. Section one will discuss the
background of AMMA. In section two the work tasks during the internship programs.
Section three the technical aspects of the internship program. Conclusion of the previous
sections which about AMMA-ICT, network maintenance in AMMA network cable
installation. The most important in an internship program is that the student should spend
their time in a true manner and with the spirit to learn practical orientation of theoretical
study framework. This report is about our internship that we have undergone at AMMA
ICT from Jun 3, 2009, to August 30-, 2009. During my internship, we are able to learn
the practical aspect of the network and get good working experience.

4.2 Conclusion

After going through the whole period of internship as an intern we have observed so
many professional activities and learned as well. This internship was very fruitful to us
because we had to cover many different fields. We also learned new concepts and new
ways of working. During this internship period, we acquired practical experience to
complement the theoretical content of our study for AMMA, Network cable installation,
network cable maintenance and wireless local area network (WLAN) and installation. To
conclude, we think that this internship was very beneficial to us as we learned a lot, and it
made us discover work's in a real-world

4.4 Recommendation
The company workers are committed to their work and they are sociable, so I recommend them to
continue on it. A session is for four-month, the weather condition of AMU is hot, as a result, it is
difficult to construct wired network configuration and also difficult to arrive on time. Especially it
was difficult in the afternoon So I recommend to Arba mich university engineering faculty and
technology department of electrical and computing, the field practice should be applied in another
different course. The duration of time in filed practice was enough as much as possible we
recommend that filed practice should be extended from four-month to five and above a month in
order to get better knowledge. The network bandwidth of the AMU ICT center is very weak. As a
result, I recommend the AMU ICT center to use a better bandwidth. As I have seen the server
room of the ICT center the server was placed at the ground, so it is easy to attract by natural
disaster and the human factor. So we recommend that it should be placed above one flower of the
building and far from a human being.
