Security

Network Topology Project | HCIA Lab Configuration

In this lab, I successfully implemented a full network topology simulation based on the following requirements:

Configured VRRP hot standby groups for firewall redundancy

Set up NAT source pool for trusted users (2.2.2.2 - 2.2.2.3)

Configured FTP server on 30.3.3.100 and HTTP server on 30.3.3.200

Assigned 30.3.3.1 as the public IP of the firewall

NATted untrust zone to suitable internal servers

Created Security Policies to control traffic between zones

Implemented HSRP as part of the high availability setup

Configured Cloud connectivity to access the firewall GUI interfaces over the internet for both firewalls

Tools Used:

eNSP – Huawei simulation and VRRP setup

VirtualBox – Virtual environment for endpoint testing

Wireshark – Packet capture and traffic analysis

WinPcap – Packet capturing support for Wireshark

Cloud (Bridge to host) – For internet access and GUI connectivity to both firewalls

Attached are screenshots of the final topology setup.

Proud of how everything came together in this project! Looking forward to more hands-on labs and real-world network challenges.
