I successfully designed and implemented a complete enterprise networking solution as part of my CCNA journey. The project focused on building a secure, scalable, and high-availability infrastructure, applying real-world networking practices aligned with industry standards.
Key Features:
Redundancy & High Availability: Configured EtherChannel (LACP) and HSRP to eliminate single points of failure.
Dynamic Routing: Deployed OSPF with proper network advertisements and default routes.
Segmentation & VLANs: Designed multiple VLANs with Inter-VLAN Routing using Router-on-a-Stick and Multilayer Switch.
IP Addressing & DHCP: Subnetted the network and implemented DHCP with relay for automated IP allocation.
Security Enhancements:
Access Control Lists (ACLs) for traffic filtering.
Port Security with MAC learning and Syslog violation logging.
802.1X authentication for device/user access control.
DHCP Snooping, DAI, and BPDU Guard for Layer 2 security.
Secure remote management with SSH.
Network Services: Integrated Syslog server for centralized monitoring and NTP server for synchronization.
NAT & PAT: Configured to provide secure Internet access.
Wireless & QoS: Extended enterprise Wi-Fi coverage and applied QoS for VoIP prioritization.
Management: Centralized monitoring and administration through Syslog, SSH, and hierarchical network design.
Results:
100% connectivity across all enterprise devices.
Strong security posture with proactive monitoring.
Reliable, redundant, and scalable architecture ready for enterprise operations.
