The document outlines a network assignment focused on designing and implementing a network for a newly established office branch, detailing project scope, requirements, network design, addressing schemes, and hardware specifications. Key components include security measures, effective communication protocols, and budget considerations, alongside the use of Cisco Packet Tracer for simulation and configuration. The assignment emphasizes the use of DHCP for IP address allocation and access-list measures to restrict inter-departmental access.

1. Network Assignment On Project Design
1. Project Scope and Requirements
1.1 Scope of the Project discussed in network assignment:
From the newly developed system, expects of the organization is included in the
following project scope:
 For new office branches, the implementation of structure and design architecture
is required.
 By developing network architecture, the organization can implement the
connectivity within the organization.
 To measures, the resource and cost required the organization to invest in new
architecture developments.
1.2 Requirements of the Project:
In IT project of a company should follow these essential types of equipment are:
 Security: Security measures need to implement to giving protection to the
confidential information so that outsiders cannot access any technology or
information.
 Effective Communication: To improve the growth and effectiveness of the
business, it is essential to build communication among various department of a
company.
 Addressing: To avoid conflict while data transaction, it is essential to use the
effective addressing scheme.
 Budget: For developing an active network within time and budget, it is essential to
evaluate budget [1].

2. Network Design and Justification:
2.1 Network Design:
For the IT industry, various devices of hardware have selected with the support of
Cisco Packet Tracer. The structure of the IT industry has shown in the image below:
2.2 Justification:
With the help of Cisco Packet Tracer, the above structure mentioned in this network
assignment depicts the configured and design for the organization. For support, the
business organization various device such as PCs, switches, routers have set. Based
on the departments, the network has categorized. The departments are HR, sales, IT,
development and accounting. These departments are also interconnected with
various VLANs [3]. Multiple techniques have been used to assign an IP address. For
enable, device communication, need to configure RIP routing protocol over the
devices. FastEthernet cables are uses for interdependent connection; on the other
hand, serial cables are used for the connection of central organization router with
department routers.

3. Network Topology Diagram and its Implementation:
The structural, organizational relationship has shown in the below:
3.1 IP Addressing:
For serial infrastructure, the IP address, i.e. 220.200.200.1 at R@1, will provide an
opportunity to communicate with other branches.

4. 3
To interact with other departments, configured sub-interfaces has considered as a
gateway. Every different department uses it. Commands that use for setting sub-
interfaces are in below:
With address 200.200.200.2, another router has configured. The name of the router is
R@2.

5. 4
Configured addressing as 200.200.200.5 in the second serial interface
These following commands are used in the CLI mode to assign gateway address to
FastEthernet port.

6. 5
With addressing scheme, the configuration of R@3 has done.

7. 6
To connect with other devices, the IP addressing has used.

8. 7
3.2 Configuration of switches:
The detail of VLANs has shown below:

9. 8
The following commands are used for assigning VLANs:

10. 9
3.3 Routing protocol Configuration:
RIP that is a routing protocol has methods for adding the communication medium
among all other routers [2]. Multiple network addresses have added in this protocol,
which has connected with the router.
With the scheme of addressing, other routers have configured.

11. 10
R@3 configuration:

12. 11
Internet Service provider configuration, as shown below:
3.4 Host Configuration:
The IP address, which is a unique identification address has assigned in PC14 for
identifying the location of the device through the network.
The successful and productive connection is built through a PC4. Through the below
gateway, successful results within this network assignment have been shown:

13. 12
Through VLAN’s 3 PC4 by pinging to ISP router the testing has been done. With the
ISP, all the devices are communicating successfully as indicated below:

14. 13
Configuration of Access-list:
The access of R@3 router should block from R@2 router because it belongs to the
sales department. The picture below shows the successful communication before
access-list configuration.
In the picture, the following commands indicate the configuration on R@3. From
specific departments, it blocks access.

15. 14
This picture shows that ping to accountant network in sales department PC6 is not
able.
The sales department cannot access or connect with the accounting department.
The access of another network can quickly identify by PC9. This also indicates the
successful communication between each device.

17. 16
3.5 Server Configuration:
Through IP address, the networks can connect n number of devices that makes the
function faster.
The configuration setup of DHCP Server's as shown below:
To PCO, by DHCP server dynamic IP allocation is successful.

4. Timeline and Budget Estimation
The schedule followed for completing this project is presented with the help of the
Gantt chart [4]. By making the most use of different resources, the performance of
the project is shown approximately:
4.1 Project timeline
The project is displayed with the help of MS Office Project software, it is completed
with the timetable, and phases followed. Users can be able to understand the
resources that are utilized for deploying the network with the help of the timeline [5]:

are performed by using commands can be utilized to implement the network. The

22. 21
installation of a system is for IT Company, for increasing the growth of the business of
the new branch office that is planned to be open. The branch office network will
comprise of switches, PCs, constitute routers and server. Cisco tracer tool is utilized
for the simulation of the system, and by running different commands, it provides the
different number of devices to connect and configure. DHCP server deploys to
support IP addressing allocation process. It assigns an IP device when it is requesting
the network to access the tools. By configuring access-list, the security measures are
implemented, in which it blocks access to the sales department of the accountant
department. In the IT Company, the discussion of the timeline it also discusses and
follows to deploy the desired network.
