Design and Implementation of a Simple Networking Project #1
Design a network in Cisco Packet Tracer to connect the ACCOUNTS and DELIVERY departments with the following requirements:
- Each department should contain at least two PCs.
- Appropriate number of switches and routers should be used in the network.
- Using the given network
192.168.40.0, all interfaces should be configured with correct IP addresses, subnet masks, and gateways. - All devices in the network should be connected using appropriate cables.
- Test communication between devices in both ACCOUNTS and DELIVERY departments.
- 2 departments: ACCOUNTS and DELIVERY
- Each department has 2 PCs connected to a switch
- Main-Router connects the two switches
| Device | Interface/PC | IP Address | Subnet Mask | Default Gateway |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Main-Router | G0/1 (Accounts) | 192.168.40.1 | 255.255.255.128 | - |
| Main-Router | G0/2 (Delivery) | 192.168.40.129 | 255.255.255.128 | - |
| Accounts-PC1 | Fa0/1 | 192.168.40.5 | 255.255.255.128 | 192.168.40.1 |
| Accounts-PC2 | Fa0/2 | 192.168.40.6 | 255.255.255.128 | 192.168.40.1 |
| Delivery-PC1 | Fa0/1 | 192.168.40.135 | 255.255.255.128 | 192.168.40.129 |
| Delivery-PC2 | Fa0/2 | 192.168.40.136 | 255.255.255.128 | 192.168.40.129 |
- Creating a Simple Network using a Router and Access Layer Switch
- Connecting two Networks using a Router
- Subnetting and IP Addressing
- Assigning IP Addresses to the Router's interfaces
- Static IP Address allocation to Host Devices
- Testing and Verifying Network Communication
- Router-to-Switch connectivity
- Switch-to-PC access ports
- Port-security with sticky MACs
- Static IP addressing
- Ping tests between all devices
- All PCs in ACCOUNTS can ping each other ✅
- All PCs in DELIVERY can ping each other ✅
- ACCOUNTS ↔ DELIVERY communication via Main-Router ✅
