Abstract :Abstract Today, internet and network services have become a great need with the increase in their impact and convenience in every field. Interruptions that may occur in internet and local network services in hospital automation systems are of critical importance. The demand for continuity and fast connection in internet use in distance education and health services by users has increased especially during the pandemic process. Thanks to mobile life, user patterns have changed and with the expansion of the usage areas of wireless networks, there have been changes in network topologies. Users demand uninterrupted and fast connections. Redundancy; It has a special importance for the business processes of institutions and organizations and for services where downtime can cause serious problems. Therefore, redundancy is required to ensure that in case any of the network devices fail, it maintains the network connection with the other devices. Network redundancy is an important factor to consider maintaining network reliability and business continuity. In this study, an approach, suggestions and a case study on how to create a redundant and hierarchical network system for large multi-user campus areas implemented in Suleyman Demirel University are presented.
