Projects:
Multi-Area OSPFimplementationwithVLANsandACLs and Troubleshooting – Labwork Mar 2016 –May 2016
Simulated multi-area OSPFusinga5 routers and4 switches topology. Implemented route summarization onABRsandASBRs
along with OSPF authentication schemes, VLANsandInter-VLAN routing. StandardandExtended ACLs wereusedfor router
security overIPv4 network. Various troubleshootingtechniquesincludingtheCLI commandswere usedto resolve problems
related to OSPFroutingprotocol, STP and802.1Q.
EIGRP Implementation – Labwork Mar2016 –May 2016
Simulated EIGRPona3 router topology. EIGRP summary routes wereimplemented for the mostefficient route selection.
Unequal (Variance-Based) loadbalancingwasachieved. Frame relay p2p wasconfiguredover this network. MD-5 authentication
was used tosecure this topology.
Pong – CodeSkulptor May 2016 –Jun2016
A mini versionof the arcade game Pongwas designedusing Python. Thegamewas designedto be playedagainst the computer
andother users.
Analyzing Network Traffic andProtocols –Wireshark Apr 2015 –May 2015
Understoodhowa client is automatically assignedan IP address using the DHCP protocol. TheIP protocolstack was analyzed
when the client connectsto a webpage along with tracing the route of the packets from the source tothe destination.
Low Frequency Signal Generator and Scalar Network Analyzer – CodeComposerStudio Feb 2015 –May 2015
A systemcapable of capturinganalog signalsand generating user defined waveformson Oscilloscope was designed. C language
was used in the programwhich took frequency, amplitudeandthe type of waveform from the user. ARM Cortex M4FCore
Microcontroller was usedin the system.
