Hotel Network Design & Implementation Using Cisco Packet Tracer

Technologies Implemented:

- Hierarchical Network Design: Structured design ensuring efficient traffic flow between core, distribution, and access layers.

- VLANs & Inter-VLAN Routing (SVI): Segmented departments into VLANs for isolated and secure traffic, with Switch Virtual Interfaces (SVIs) enabling seamless inter-department communication.

- DHCP Server: Configured to dynamically assign IP addresses, simplifying device management in an environment with constantly changing connections.

- Port-Security: Implemented to control access to the network by securing switch ports and preventing unauthorized devices.

- SSH: Enabled secure remote access to network devices for administrators, safeguarding against unauthorized logins.

- NAT Overload (PAT): Configured to translate internal private IP addresses to public IPs, allowing multiple devices to access external resources with a single public IP address.

- Access Control Lists (ACL): Set up ACLs to control traffic flow and enforce security policies across different segments of the network.

- WLAN Configuration: Configured wireless access points (WAPs) to ensure campus-wide connectivity for students and staff.

- Host Configurations: Configured end devices with appropriate IP settings, ensuring smooth connectivity and access to university services.
