In this assignment, you will perform necessary setup to install,
configure and troubleshoot an SME network.
You must successfully implement the network in Cisco’s Packet
Tracer network simulation software and perform important steps to
manage the network security configuration.
You must complete the following tasks:
• Task 1: Install and connect the devices into a
network as shown in the diagram. • Task 2: Set up
and test the security.
• Task 3: Network testing and
troubleshooting.
• Task 4: Network security analysis.
• Task 5: Network documentation.
Scenario:
You are up for a promotion to senior network administrator and
because of your ongoing experience your manager has assigned you a
new client to assist them setup their new network.
The design and requirements have been provided to you in the
logical topology network diagram.
You have been advised of the following criteria:
1. Routers and default gateways are always set to the first IP
address in the range.
2. Switches will always get the second IP address in the
range.
3. End devices (servers and workstations etc) will get an IP
address starting at the 20th usable address for the host
address.
4. Servers will have their MAC address stored on the switch.
5. Connections to the head office network need to be secure.
6. The IT department needs to be able to access all networks for
maintenance and troubleshooting including ping and SSH.
The following networks will be set up:
• DMZ – Used for placing internet facing devices to be able to
be reached from the internet as well as the internal business
network.
• Server Network (ServerNet) – used for storing the internal
company servers that only staff can access.
• Corporate Network (CorpNet) – used by the normal users of the
company at head office that can access the internet, the servers
including the DMZ. Departments need to be segmented from each
other.
• Remote network (Remote Net) – used by company employees at the
second office. They can access the server network and the DMZ and
the internet only.
• Research and Development network (R&D Net) – used by the
team developing new products and researching new techniques. This
network is segmented from the other networks and has internet
access, server access is only for traffic they initiate, and no
devices can initiate connections to this network.
Your task is to configure the network in simulation software so
that it can be tested before it is implemented.
You must devise any other security options you deem appropriate
and configure and document them so they can be used when the
network is implemented.
