Hotel Network Infrastructure – Project Summary
This project represents a multi-floor hotel network design created in Cisco Packet Tracer. The network is structured to provide secure, organized, and efficient communication between different hotel departments by using VLAN segmentation, routing, and redundant connections.
Key Features:
1. Three-Floor Network Structure
The hotel is divided into multiple floors, where each floor contains departments connected through switches, PCs, printers, and wireless access points.
2. Department Separation Using VLANs
Each department has its own VLAN and subnet to improve security and performance:
VLAN 10 – IT Department → 192.168.1.0/24
VLAN 20 – Admin Department → 192.168.2.0/24
VLAN 30 – Sales Department → 192.168.3.0/24
VLAN 40 – HR Department → 192.168.4.0/24
VLAN 50 – Finance Department → 192.168.5.0/24
VLAN 60 – Logistics Department → 192.168.6.0/24
VLAN 70 – Store Department → 192.168.7.0/24
VLAN 80 – Receptionist Department → 192.168.8.0/24
3. Inter-VLAN Communication
Routers are configured to allow communication between VLANs using routing techniques, enabling departments to exchange data securely when required.
4. Redundant Router Topology
Three routers are connected in a triangular topology using point-to-point networks:
10.10.10.0/30
10.10.10.4/30
10.10.10.8/30
This design provides backup paths and increases network reliability in case one link fails.
5. End Devices and Services
Each department contains:
PCs for employees
Network printers
Wireless access points in selected areas
6. Centralized Hotel Network
All floors and departments are connected as one integrated hotel network, allowing efficient management and communication.
Project Objective:
To build a secure, scalable, and fault-tolerant hotel network infrastructure that supports multiple departments across different floors while maintaining organized traffic flow and reliable connectivity.
