Network design and implementation project using Cisco Packet Tracer with OSPF, DHCP, DNS, and multi-branch topology.
This project demonstrates the design and implementation of a multi-branch network using Cisco Packet Tracer. The network supports multiple locations with efficient routing, structured IP addressing, and fully configured network services.
- LAN subnetting using /25 (supports up to 100 devices per branch)
- WAN point-to-point connections using /30
- Private IP addressing scheme (172.16.0.0/16)
- Structured and scalable topology
- Routing: OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)
- IP Assignment: DHCP
- Name Resolution: DNS
- Web Services: HTTP / HTTPS
- Email Services: SMTP, POP3
- File Transfer: FTP
- Multiple branches (Amman HQ, Irbid, Aqaba, etc.)
- Star topology within each branch
- Point-to-point WAN connections between routers
- Separate server network
- Router configuration (interfaces, OSPF routing)
- DHCP configuration with
ip helper-address - DNS and web server setup
- Static IP assignment for servers and printers
- Network segmentation for better performance
- Connectivity testing using
pingandtraceroute - Routing verification using
show ip route - DNS resolution testing
- Web and email service validation
The network was successfully implemented with:
- Full connectivity between all branches
- Efficient routing using OSPF
- Proper IP addressing and subnetting
- Functional network services (DHCP, DNS, HTTP, Email)
- VLAN implementation for department segmentation
- OSPF multi-area design for scalability
- Redundant links for high availability
- Enhanced security (firewalls, ACLs)
