Developed by: @KhalidExe & @vd2mi Academic Project | CIS 326 - Network Administration | IAU
A sophisticated network architecture designed for a corporation with 6 distributed branches: Store, Warehouse, IT Department, Distribution Center, Factory, and Administration. This project demonstrates a highly scalable infrastructure using Cisco Packet Tracer to simulate real-world environments with both Logical and Physical implementations.
- Protocols: Dual implementation using OSPF and RIPv2.
- Route Redistribution: Configured protocol merging on Router 2 to ensure full reachability across different routing domains.
- Addressing: Organized IP allocation with custom subnet masks for global (/8) and internal (/24) operations.
- VLAN Deployment: Dedicated VLANs for each branch to enhance security and traffic management.
- VLAN IDs: Store (100), Warehouse (400), IT (200), Distribution (500), Factory (300), and Admin (10, 20, 30).
- VoIP Infrastructure: Cisco IP Phones configured with dedicated Voice VLANs for inter-branch communication.
- Centralized Wireless: Managed via WLC (Wireless LAN Controller) with WPA2-PSK security policies.
- Server Roles: Deployed centralized DNS and Web Servers to host internal corporate resources.
- Realistic Simulation: Fully organized Physical View depicting the actual distribution of devices, racks, and structured cabling across all 6 branches.
Note: High-level logical representation of the 6-router interconnected network.
- Connectivity: 100% successful ICMP Ping tests verified across all branch subnets.
- Domain Access: Verified successful access to the corporate internal site via the "IT" domain name.
