Final Network Configuration Lab Enterprise network lab with VLANs, NAT, ACLs, and routing using Cisco Packet Tracer.
π Overview This project demonstrates the design and implementation of a secure enterprise network using Cisco Packet Tracer.
The lab focuses on network segmentation, routing, and security controls commonly used in enterprise environments. It includes VLAN segmentation, inter-VLAN routing, NAT (Static & PAT), ACL-based security policies, and controlled access to internal servers.
π§ Technologies & Concepts IP Subnetting (/28, /27) VLANs (10, 20, 30) Router-on-a-Stick (Inter-VLAN Routing) Static Routing NAT (Static NAT & PAT) Access Control Lists (ACLs) Web & FTP Servers Cisco IOS troubleshooting commands πΊ Network Topology The network simulates a small enterprise infrastructure with segmented departments and controlled external access.
Components include:
Core and edge routers Layer 2 switches with VLAN segmentation Public-facing servers Simulated internet connectivity Topology diagram:
