Network Security

To secure and efficiently manage internet services, the campus utilizes the SOPHOS XGS 5500 as the Unified Threat Management (UTM) solution. This next-generation firewall delivers robust user authentication and administrative control over internet usage.

The Sophos XGS Firewall introduces a modern, intelligent approach to network security. It can detect and respond to threats in real-time, offering unmatched visibility into network activity, including risky users, unknown or unwanted applications, advanced threats, suspicious payloads, and encrypted traffic.

Key Features

These capabilities empower the institute to defend against ransomware, data breaches, and other sophisticated cyber threats, ensuring a secure and reliable digital environment for all campus stakeholders.

Next-Generation Campus Networking Infrastructure

TKM College of Engineering (TKMCE) has implemented a cutting-edge, ultra high-speed networking infrastructure to meet the growing digital demands of modern education and research. The new setup features a comprehensive edge-to-edge fiber optic backbone delivering 10 Gbps connectivity across the entire campus.

Core Network Infrastructure

• Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series core switches, equipped with 24 ports supporting 1/10/25 Gbps and 4 ports supporting 40/100 Gbps, serve as the backbone of the network, ensuring high throughput and low-latency performance.
• Cisco Catalyst 9200L distribution switches, with 24 PoE+ ports and 4 x 10G uplinks, distribute connectivity efficiently to access points and end-user devices, particularly for wireless networking.

Wi-Fi Network Infrastructure

• The wireless network is managed through a Cisco Catalyst 9800-CL Virtual Wireless Controller, offering centralized control with support for up to 10,000 users.
• To ensure seamless and high-performance wireless coverage, TKMCE has deployed:
  • 45 units of Cisco Catalyst 9115AX Series access points
  • 75 units of Cisco Catalyst 9105AX Series access points

These access points support the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standards, delivering enhanced speed, capacity, and efficiency—ideal for high-density academic environments.

Wired Network Infrastructure

• A D-Link DGS-3620 core switch with built-in redundancy serves the wired network backbone, providing reliable, uninterrupted connectivity.
• D-Link DGS-3120 Layer 3 switches are deployed at the distribution layer to ensure high-speed, managed wired connectivity across departments and administrative blocks.

This state-of-the-art infrastructure ensures high availability, scalability, and security, empowering TKMCE to support digital learning, research collaboration, and administrative efficiency with future-ready technology.

Internet & Connectivity

Internet Connectivity

TKM College of Engineering (TKMCE) ensures reliable and high-speed internet access through a dedicated 1 Gbps (1:1) leased line over fiber-optic connectivity, provided by BSNL. This WAN link delivers consistent performance for all academic, research, and administrative activities across the campus.

Wi-Fi Access

TKMCE is a fully Wi-Fi enabled campus, offering seamless wireless connectivity to all registered users. Students, faculty, and staff can access the internet from anywhere within the campus premises.

To maintain network integrity and prevent unauthorized access, MAC address filtering is implemented as a security measure, ensuring that only approved devices can connect to the campus Wi-Fi network.

Software Repository

The TKMCE Software Repository is a curated collection of licensed software tools that bridge the gap between academic learning and industry requirements. It empowers students and faculty with access to cutting-edge technologies, fostering innovation, skill development, and industry readiness.

Licensed Software Available

This comprehensive suite supports a wide range of academic disciplines, including engineering design, simulation, programming, database management, and system administration.

TKMCE is committed to providing students with exposure to the latest technological innovations. By integrating industry-standard tools into the curriculum, we encourage students to develop practical skills and become well-rounded, industry-ready professionals.

Server Infrastructure

The server infrastructure at TKM College of Engineering (TKMCE) is designed to ensure robust performance, high availability, and secure management of campus-wide IT services. The Campus Networking Centre (CNC) operates a combination of rack-mounted and tower-type servers, catering to various critical functions including hosting, authentication, and data management.

These servers are powered by Intel Xeon-based high-performance processors, optimized for multi-user environments and capable of handling complex computational tasks and high network traffic loads.

The server setup supports:

• Web hosting and application services
• Centralized data storage and backup
• Virtualization and service

This enterprise-grade server infrastructure plays a pivotal role in maintaining the reliability, security, and efficiency of TKMCE's digital ecosystem.
