Abstract
Educational computer laboratories require a reliable and well-structured network infrastructure to support learning activities and efficient resource management. However, many laboratory networks are still implemented using a single network segment, which can lead to high broadcast traffic and reduced network performance as the number of connected devices increases. This study proposes the design and implementation of a multi-segment Local Area Network (LAN) infrastructure based on institutional needs in an educational computer laboratory environment. The proposed network architecture consists of four laboratory rooms with a total of 160 computers, where each laboratory operates within a different IP network segment while remaining interconnected through routing mechanisms. Network devices such as the MikroTik RB750Gr3 hEX router are used to manage gateway functions, DHCP services, and network address translation (NAT) for internet connectivity. The implementation is evaluated through connectivity tests between laboratory networks and internet access tests. The results show that all laboratory networks successfully communicate with each other without packet loss and demonstrate low latency values, indicating stable network performance. In addition, internet connectivity tests confirm that all laboratory networks can access external resources reliably. These findings demonstrate that the proposed multi-segment LAN infrastructure improves network organization, scalability, and manageability within educational computer laboratory environments.
