Advanced level project
Multi-Site Organisation Network
Design and build, in Packet Tracer, a network for an organisation with a head office and two field offices: dynamic routing, redundancy, IPv4 and IPv6, enterprise Wi-Fi, site-to-site VPN, firewall rules, monitoring and full documentation, with a costed equipment list and presentation.
Deliverables
- A requirements and design document with addressing, VLAN and routing plans
- A working multi-site Packet Tracer network
- Security, monitoring and change management plans
- A costed bill of materials, test results and presentation
Assessed on
- The design meets requirements and survives the failure of a single link
- Security controls follow least privilege and are tested
- Monitoring and documentation support ongoing operations
- Costs and power arrangements are realistic for the locations
