This project presents a comprehensive network scenario designed for a government setup, implemented using the eNSP (Enterprise Network Simulation Platform). The network encompasses a central cloud system, seven departmental routers, and various switches connecting departmental devices. The primary focus is on implementing key network technologies to ensure seamless connectivity and robust security across multiple government divisions.
This project report details the implementation of a government network scenario using eNSP. The network includes a central cloud system, departmental routers, and switches connecting various devices. The following technologies were implemented to ensure optimal performance and security:
- Subnetting
- Telnet
- Security (ACL)
- Eth-Trunk
- Static Route
- RIP
- STP
- VLSM
- VLAN
- DHCP
- FTP
The Government Cloud network is designed to meet the operational needs of various governmental departments, including Defense, Finance, Home Affairs, Foreign Affairs, and Health. Each department is connected via dedicated routers, ensuring seamless connectivity and access to shared resources such as FTP servers and DNS services.
The network topology includes:
- Central Router (R1)
- DHCP Server (R6)
- Departmental Routers for various divisions
- FTP Server (R5)
- Multiple switches connecting PCs in each division
Telnet provides a command-line interface for remote management of network devices. It was implemented to manage and configure the routers remotely.
ACLs enhance network security by controlling traffic and limiting access to network resources. ACLs were configured on routers to allow or deny specific IP addresses.
LACP combines multiple physical Ethernet links into a single logical link to increase bandwidth and provide redundancy. LACP was configured on switches to enhance performance and reliability.
Static routing involves manually configuring routes on routers. It is used in stable environments or for specific routing requirements.
RIP allows routers to exchange routing information dynamically. It uses hop count to determine the best path for forwarding packets.
STP prevents loops in Ethernet networks by dynamically selecting the best path and blocking redundant links.
VLSM allows efficient IP address allocation by using subnet masks of varying lengths.
VLANs segment the network into different broadcast domains, enhancing security and reducing broadcast traffic.
DHCP automates IP address assignment to devices on the network.
FTP facilitates the transfer of files between devices on the network.
This project successfully demonstrates the implementation of a complex government network scenario using various network technologies. The detailed configuration and justification of each technology ensure a robust, secure, and efficient network infrastructure.
