National Telecommunication Institute with Huawei

final project from the HCIA-Security scholarship at Huawei ICT Academy – Egypt, NTI. This project involved building a complete secure network infrastructure using Huawei firewalls, with a focus on high availability, structured security zones, and advanced VPN technologies.

Key highlights:

Active/Standby Firewall setup with VRRP for seamless failover

Three security zones:

Trust (can access Untrust & DMZ)

Untrust (isolated from Trust, can reach DMZ)

DMZ (hosts public servers)

Well-defined security policies and NAT configuration

Advanced features added for enhanced security:

GRE Tunnel

L2TP VPN

IPSec VPN

This project not only strengthened my technical skills in firewall configuration, network security, and VPNs, but also taught me teamwork, problem-solving, and the value of mentorship.
