Background

This is the second year that KTH is helping National University of Laos (NUOL) with their network implementation and configuration.

The project will be implemented during a two-year period

This year three teams will work with this project

GOALS FOR TEAM 4

Team 4, Backbone and Internet connection

- Link to foreign student dormitory

- Link to Nabong as well as Donokhoum

- DNS, DHCP at the main campus network operation center (help team 6)

GOALS FOR TEAM 5

Team 5, IntranetSet up computer room and LAN at different location in each campus- Dongdok campus

- Dormitory- Library- School of Foundation Study (FSS)

- Don Nok Khum campus -Faculty of Law

- Tat Thong campus-irrigation faculty

DHCP at each campus (help team 6)

GOALS FOR TEAM 6

Team 6: Application services - Upgrade webserver and mailserver

- create user quota

- create mail quota - Dial-up services - DNS, DHCP
