This project demonstrates the design and implementation of a VLAN-based network configuration, including subnetting, VLAN setup, and network device security configurations. The network is divided into departments using multiple VLANs with specific subnets and IP addressing.

VLAN-Based Network Configuration with Subnetting and Security

Overview

This project showcases a network setup for a medium-sized company with departments segregated using VLANs. Subnetting is applied to manage IP addressing efficiently. The configuration ensures secure communication and proper management of network resources.

Topology

  • VLANs: HR, SOC, IT, Native (Loopback), Management (SVI)
  • Router: R1 (Handling inter-VLAN routing and DHCP)
  • Switches: S1, S2, Distribution Switch (Dis-S)
  • Devices: PCs in each VLAN with dynamic IP assignment via DHCP.

Objectives:

  • Implement subnetting for different VLANs.
  • Configure switches for VLAN segmentation.
  • Secure network devices (passwords, SSH access, encryption).
  • Configure the management VLAN for administration purposes.
  • Apply DHCP for automatic IP allocation.

Network Details:

Subnetting (192.168.1.0/24):

The network is divided into 8 subnets, with each VLAN occupying a unique subnet.

For example:

  • VLAN 10 (HR) - 192.168.1.0/27
  • VLAN 20 (SOC) - 192.168.1.32/27
  • VLAN 30 (IT) - 192.168.1.64/27
  • Management VLAN (SVI) - 192.168.1.128/27

Complete subnetting details are in the Network_Subnetting.txt file.

Address Table:

Please take a look at the Addressing Table.pdf for complete IP address assignments.

Network Topology:

Refer to the Lab-1_Mohamed_Khaled.pkt.

  • User: admin
  • Pass:123
  • Privilege: 12345

Configuration Files:

  • Switch 1 (S1), Switch 2 (S2), Distribution Switch (Dis-S), and Router 1 (R1) configurations are available in the My_Configuration.txt file.

Steps to Implement:

  1. Set up VLANs on the switches.
  2. Configure trunk ports for VLAN traffic.
  3. Assign IP addresses and configure management VLANs on each switch.
  4. Secure the devices using SSH, password encryption, and MOTD banners.
  5. Configure inter-VLAN routing on the router.
  6. Apply DHCP configuration on the router to assign IP addresses dynamically.
