7.2 Limitations/ shortcomings
encountered.
The following limitations were encountered during the system
development:
· It took a lot of time to learn again network
configuration and design
· Shortage of devices during implementation
· A lot of errors were encountered during the development
of the system.
· A lot of errors and misconfiguration were encountered
during the development of the system and the network.
· There were financial constraints encounters during the
development of the system.
· There were technical support constraints encounters
during the development of the system.
· At times, there was no internet connectivity and
therefore one could not seek help from the online community or conduct
research.
3. Conclusion
All in all, the jkuat network management online and design,
implementation and management of jkuat secure LAN were a success since it met
all its objectives and it satisfied the user specifications and client need.
The system is also in line with the Kenyan Vision 2030 of
incorporating Information Technology in our workplaces.
It also shows how different technologies (PHP (PDO)&MySQL
(MySQLi), WAMP sever and Cisco Packet Tracer) can be integrated to create good
user applications which help reduce the cost of operations.
7.3 Recommendations
i). The network management database should be backed up at
different servers to allow redundancy of the records.
ii). The network should have more be backed up servers to
allow redundancy in the network.
iii). A scanning module should be added to allow scanning of
old records to be added in the database.
iv). The university requires to add more access point to
facilitate availability of the network
v). The network should be able to extend to accommodate
growing number of students and application hosted in.
vi). The system should also be extended to capture
