Network Infrastructure
Switching & Routing
Core, distribution and access switching with VLAN segmentation and redundancy.
Overview
A network core where one failure stops nothing.
Switches and routers decide how fast, how reliable and how secure everything else on your network is. A flat network of unmanaged switches works until the day one loop, one faulty device or one infected laptop takes the whole office down.
We design and configure managed switching in layers, with VLANs to separate departments and devices, redundant links between switches and quality-of-service rules so voice and video stay clear.
Scope of work
What's included
- L2/L3 switch design and configuration
- VLAN segmentation and QoS policies
- Link aggregation and redundant uplinks
- Config backups and network documentation
Every switching & routing engagement follows our documented delivery process and is handed over with as-built documentation. It also qualifies for our annual maintenance program.
Delivered from our offices in Mumbai, Pune, Kolhapur and Ichalkaranji.
How we deliver it
- 01
Layered design
Core, distribution and access layers sized for your port count, PoE devices and uplink speeds, with room to grow.
- 02
Segmentation
Separate VLANs for staff, guests, servers, CCTV, voice and machines, with routing and access rules between them.
- 03
Redundancy
Link aggregation, redundant uplinks and loop protection, with stacking or a redundant core where downtime is costly.
- 04
Documentation
Port maps, VLAN and IP plans and configuration backups handed over, so any engineer can support the network later.
Buyer's checklist
What to check in any switching quote
- Are the switches managed, and is the core switch Layer 3?
- Is the PoE budget enough for every access point, camera and phone, with headroom?
- Are the uplinks between switches 10 Gbps and redundant?
- Are loop protection (spanning tree) and storm control configured?
- Will you receive the configuration backups and a network diagram?

FAQs
Switching & Routing: common questions
Why do we need VLANs?
VLANs split one physical network into separate logical networks. They stop a problem in one area spreading to the rest, keep guests and cameras away from business data, and make the network faster by reducing broadcast traffic.
What is the difference between a Layer 2 and a Layer 3 switch?
A Layer 2 switch connects devices within one network. A Layer 3 switch can also route traffic between networks (VLANs) at high speed, which is why it sits at the core.
Which switching brands do you deploy?
Cisco, D-Link, TP-Link Omada and Ubiquiti, chosen to fit the size of the network, the features you need and the budget.
