Networking Project using Cisco Packet Tracer

Project Overview

This project demonstrates a basic network topology implemented in Cisco Packet Tracer, focusing on IP addressing, static routing, and interconnectivity between five buildings using switches, hubs, and routers.

Features

• IP Addressing: Implemented a structured IP addressing scheme for efficient network management.
• Use of Network Devices: Configured routers, switches, and hubs to establish connectivity.
• Static Routing: Implemented static routes to enable communication between different network segments.
• Inter-Building Connectivity: Designed a network that connects five buildings seamlessly.

Network Components Used

• Routers: Configured with static routing for inter-network communication.
• Switches: Used to connect multiple devices within a building.
• Hubs: Implemented where necessary to extend network connectivity.
• End Devices: PCs and other devices assigned specific IP addresses.
• Cabling: Proper Ethernet connections between devices.

Implementation Details

1. Topology Design: Created a structured layout in Cisco Packet Tracer.
2. IP Addressing Scheme: Allocated unique subnets to different buildings.
3. Router Configuration: Implemented static routes to facilitate communication.
4. Switch and Hub Usage: Deployed appropriate network devices to optimize traffic flow.
5. Testing & Troubleshooting: Verified device connectivity and routing functionality.

Setup Instructions

1. Install Cisco Packet Tracer.
2. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Peeyush-04/Networking.git

3. Open the .pkt file in Cisco Packet Tracer.
4. Analyze and modify configurations as needed.

Future Enhancements

• Integration of dynamic routing protocols (RIP, OSPF, etc.).
• Addition of VLANs for improved network segmentation.
• Implementation of DHCP for automatic IP assignment.
• Security enhancements such as Access Control Lists (ACLs).
