HDFC BANK /Network Design (Project #4)

Project #4 Case Study and Requirements

A trading Bank Support centre employs 600 staff. They have recently expanded and as a result, need
to move to a new building. A building has been identified but has no network. This means that
before they can make to move out, new network service needs to be designed and implemented in
the new building. Existing Network comprises of the following elements: The new building is
expected to have three floors with two departments in each for example.

First floor- (Sales and Loan Department-120 users .

Second floor- (Finance and Accounts Department-120 users.

Third floor- (ICT-120 users expected, Server Room-12 devices.

Therefore, as a key member of the Networks Team, you have been tasked to design a network for
the new building. At this stage, logical design is required, which shows the measures that you would
put in place to ensure that the new network meets the current business need and is future-proofed:

1. Use Cisco Packet Tracer to design and implement the network solution.
2. Use hieratical model providing redundancy at every layer i.e., two routers and two
multilayer switches are expected to be used to provide redundancy.
3. The network is also expected to connect to at least two ISPs to provide redundancy and each
router to the connected to the two ISPs.
4. Each department is required to have a wireless network for the users.
5. Each department should be in a different VLAN and in different subnetwork.
6. The company network is connected to the static, public IP addresses (Internet Protocol)
2.0.0.0/8, 3.0.0.0/8, 4.0.0.0/8 & 5.0.0.0/8 connected to the two Internet providers.
7. Configure basic device settings such as hostnames, console password, enable password, IP
domain lookup.
8. Devices in all the departments are required to communicate with each other with the
respective multilayer switch configured for inter-VLAN routing.
9. Create VTP Server to COREL3 SW2
10. Create ROOT Switch TO CORE L3 SW2
11. The Multilayer switches are expected to carry out both routing and switching functionalities
thus will be assigned IP addresses.
12. All devices in the network are expected to obtain an IP address dynamically from the
dedicated DHCP servers located at the server room.
13. Use RIP as the Dynamic routing protocol to advertise routes both on the routers and
multilayer switches.
14. Configure SSH in all the routers and layer three switches for remote login.
15. Configure port-security for the Finance allow only one device to connect to a switchport, use
sticky method to obtain mac-address and violation mode shutdown.
16. Configure PAT to use the respective outbound router interface IPv4 address, implement the
necessary ACL rule.
17. Verification
Technologies Implemented

1. Creating a network topology using Cisco Packet Tracer.


2. Hierarchical Network Design.
3. Connecting Networking devices with Correct cabling.
4. Configuring Basic device settings.
5. Creating VLANs and assigning ports VLAN numbers.
6. Subnetting and IP Addressing.
7. Configuring Inter-VLAN Routing on the Multilayer switches (Switch Virtual Interface).
8. Configuring Dedicated DHCP Server device to provide dynamic IP allocation.
9. Configuring SSH for secure Remote access.
10. Configuring RIP as the routing protocol.
11. Configuring NAT Overload (Port Address Translation PAT).
12. Configuring standard or extended Access Control Lists ACL.
13. Configuring switchport security or Port-Security on the switches.
14. Configuring WLAN or wireless network (Cisco Access Point).
15. Host Device Configurations.
16. Configuring ISP routers.
17. Test and Verifying Network Communication.
