This repository contains my hands-on IT infrastructure projects.
This project demonstrates an enterprise network design and segmentation lab built using GNS3.
The lab focuses on creating a structured network environment with VLAN segmentation, Layer 3 routing, and secure communication between different network segments.
The goal of this project is to simulate a real-world enterprise network and practice network design, configuration, and troubleshooting.
- Cisco networking labs
- VLAN configuration
- Routing and switching practice
- Network troubleshooting
- Server administration practice
The lab implements an enterprise-style network with multiple VLANs to separate different departments and services.
Key network segments include:
- Guest Network VLAN
- Administration VLAN
- CCTV VLAN
- GNS3 for network simulation
- VMware Workstation for virtualization
- Cisco IOS devices for routing and switching
- ArubaOS-CX for enterprise switching
- VLANs for network segmentation
- Inter-VLAN routing using Layer 3 switching
- DHCP and IP addressing configuration
- ACLs for traffic control and security
The project includes hands-on configuration and troubleshooting of:
- VLAN creation and assignment
- Switch port configuration
- Layer 3 switching and inter-VLAN routing
- SVI configuration for VLAN gateways
- IP addressing and subnet design
- DHCP services
- Network connectivity testing using ping and troubleshooting commands
- Access Control Lists (ACLs) for traffic restriction and segmentation
-
