Background of the Study
Network Address Translation (NAT) is a technique used in networking to translate private IP addresses into public ones, allowing multiple devices to share a single public IP address. In academic institutions like Federal University, Kashere, Gombe State, NAT can help optimize the use of limited public IP addresses while providing an additional layer of security by hiding internal network structures from external threats.
NAT is commonly used in conjunction with firewalls to protect internal network devices from direct exposure to the internet. This study will focus on the implementation of NAT within Federal University, Kashere’s network infrastructure to improve IP address utilization and enhance security. By implementing NAT, the university can prevent direct access to internal network devices, making it more difficult for cybercriminals to target vulnerable systems within the campus network.
Statement of the Problem
Federal University, Kashere, lacks the implementation of Network Address Translation (NAT) in its network infrastructure, which limits the efficient use of public IP addresses and exposes the university’s internal devices to potential security risks.
Objectives of the Study
-
To assess the current IP address allocation and security setup at Federal University, Kashere.
-
To design and implement a NAT system to optimize IP address usage and enhance security.
-
To evaluate the effectiveness of the implemented NAT system in improving network security and performance.
Research Questions
-
What are the challenges faced by Federal University, Kashere, in managing IP addresses and securing network devices?
-
How can the implementation of NAT optimize IP address usage and enhance network security?
-
How effective is NAT in improving the security and performance of the university’s network?
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study will focus on the design and implementation of NAT within the campus network of Federal University, Kashere. It will not address external networks or third-party service integrations. Limitations include potential resistance to the implementation of new network configurations and challenges related to system integration with existing infrastructure.
