This project simulates a basic Network Operations Center (NOC) environment using Cisco Packet Tracer.
It includes routing, VLANs, dynamic IP addressing, centralized monitoring, logging, configuration backups, and time synchronization.
- 2 Routers: Cairo, Alex
- Switches in each region
- Multiple End Devices (PCs, Servers)
- NOC Server (
192.168.200.10) providing:- DHCP
- SNMP
- Syslog
- NTP
- TFTP
- IP Addressing and Static Routing
- VLAN Configuration
- DHCP Server for dynamic IP allocation
- SNMP Monitoring with MIB Browser
- Syslog Server for event tracking
- NTP Time Synchronization
- TFTP Backup/Restore of router configurations
- Access Control Lists (ACLs) for basic traffic filtering
- Scope:
192.168.10.0/24 - Start IP:
192.168.10.100 - Default Gateway:
192.168.10.1 - Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
To block devices from network 192.168.20.0/24 from accessing the NOC server:
access-list 10 deny 192.168.20.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 10 permit any
interface g0/2
ip access-group 10 out ✅ Result: Devices in the denied network fail to ping 192.168.200.10.
- NTP Server:
192.168.200.10 - All routers synchronized to the same time.
- Verified using
show clockandshow ntp associations
- SNMP enabled on all routers and switches
- Tested using MIB Browser
- Example OID:
.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.1(Incoming traffic on Interface 1) - SNMP community string:
public
- Syslog Server:
192.168.200.10 - Logs router activities and interface status
- Logging command:
logging 192.168.200.10- TFTP Server IP:
192.168.200.10 - Backup command:
copy running-config tftp - Restore command:
copy tftp running-config - Filename example:
cairo-router-backup
- Network segmentation (VLANs)
- Address planning and static routing
- Service integration (DHCP, SNMP, TFTP, NTP)
- Basic security with ACLs
- Network documentation and logical thinking
- Project built with Cisco Packet Tracer
- Some services (e.g., NTP, SNMP Walk) are partially simulated
- Screenshots and topology available if needed
