This project presents the design and implementation of a complete network infrastructure for Vic Modern Hotel, a three-floor enterprise environment.
The goal is to build a secure, scalable, and efficient network using Cisco networking concepts such as VLANs, OSPF, DHCP, and network security.
The hotel consists of three floors, each containing multiple departments:
- Reception
- Store
- Logistics
- Finance
- HR
- Sales/Marketing
- IT
- Admin
- 3 Routers (one per floor, placed in server room)
- Serial DCE connections between routers
- /30 subnetting for router-to-router links
- 1 Switch per floor
- Wireless connectivity (WiFi) for each floor
- 1 Printer per department
- VLAN segmentation for all departments
| Department | VLAN | Network |
|---|---|---|
| Reception | 80 | 192.168.80.0/24 |
| Store | 70 | 192.168.70.0/24 |
| Logistics | 60 | 192.168.60.0/24 |
| Department | VLAN | Network |
|---|---|---|
| Finance | 50 | 192.168.5.0/24 |
| HR | 40 | 192.168.4.0/24 |
| Sales | 30 | 192.168.3.0/24 |
| Department | VLAN | Network |
|---|---|---|
| Admin | 20 | 192.168.2.0/24 |
| IT | 10 | 192.168.1.0/24 |
| Link | Network |
|---|---|
| R1 – R2 | 10.10.10.0/30 |
| R2 – R3 | 10.10.10.4/30 |
| R1 – R3 | 10.10.10.8/30 |
- VLAN (Virtual LAN)
- Inter-VLAN Routing (Router-on-a-Stick)
- OSPF (Dynamic Routing Protocol)
- DHCP (Dynamic IP Allocation)
- SSH (Secure Remote Access)
- Port Security (Sticky MAC)
- Wireless Networking (WiFi)
-
SSH configured on all routers for secure remote login
-
Port Security implemented on IT switch
- Only Test PC allowed
- Sticky MAC address
- Violation mode: Shutdown
-
Test PC connected to IT switch (Fa0/1)
-
Used for:
- SSH testing
- Network verification
- DHCP configured on routers
- All devices obtain IP addresses dynamically
- Full communication enabled across all VLANs
The network was tested for:
- Inter-VLAN communication
- Router connectivity (OSPF)
- DHCP functionality
- SSH remote login
- End-to-end communication across all floors
- Successfully designed a multi-floor enterprise network
- Implemented secure and scalable architecture
- Achieved full connectivity across departments
- Applied real-world networking concepts
- Network Design & Topology Planning
- VLAN Configuration
- Routing (OSPF)
- Network Security
- Troubleshooting
- Cisco Packet Tracer Simulation
- Network topology
- VLAN configuration
- OSPF routing table
- Successful ping results
