Cisco Packet Tracer XYZ University Network Topology Diagram

[safirzawad]

Hello,

I have been trying to solve this project that was provided in my course.I am rather confused as to how to correctly construct my diagrams. I have googled how to configure ripv2, dhcp, vlan with vlsm and static routing. but I can't seem to draw the diagram. There router restrictions on my project, and I am very confused on how to approach this. If anyone can help me with drawing the diagram I can hopefully finish the rest. 

I tried everything and am still lost.

Here is the Project:

Project XYZ:

Network Requirements:

XYZ University has the following 5 departments.
1. IT
Consists of 50 hosts.
2. Accounts 20
Consists of 20 hosts.
3. Office of the Registrar
Consists of 50 hosts.
4. Faculty
Consists of 250 hosts.
5. Students
Consists of 2000 hosts.

Some things to keep in mind while designing the network:

Use routers/switches wherever required.
But the university cannot afford to have more than 3 routers. Each department should be a separate network.
Install at least 2 PC/Laptop for each individual network
All the departments should be able to communicate with each other.
One router (Border router) should have the connection to the ISP for the Internet. The Internet in this example consists of ONLY 3 servers i.e (Google, Youtube & Facebook)
RIPv2 routing protocol should be used between the internal routers and static routing with the ISP router.
The IT department maintains two servers, the web server and the email server.
Only the IT, Accounts and the Office of the Registrar are allowed access to all three sites.
Faculties can browse Youtube and Google Only.
Students can only access Google.
Students should not be able to access Accounts and IT departments.
Private IP used by the university is 172.16.0.0/12
The Faculty and Students department should get their IP through DHCP, but rest of the departments should have static addressing.
The ISP has allocated 10 public addresses for this university, 105.12.32.15 – 24/25. The last two addresses are statically allocated for the web server and email server at the IT department. So all private addresses allocated must be translated to public when accessing the Internet.

Deliverables:

The network mentioned above should be implemented in packet tracer, with necessary devices and full configuration.
After completion you should be able to test the conditions imposed.
As hardcopies, you will have to submit the network topology diagram with proper labels and also all the configurations of all the routers that you have implemented.

To all concerned,
This thread is school work.
Help the students learn: Post the links to documents and configuration guides.
Please refrain from handing out answers.

Hi @safirzawad 

You will have to assign two networks (A and B) in addition to those indicated using VLSM. You must invent a network for the Internet network.

Thank you so much. Can I replace the ISP Router with a cloud as there is a limitation of 3 routers in the system. Also, how should I go about subnetting here? I am embarrassed to be asking about something basic, but that seems to be my biggest problem. I can do everything else with some help from the internet and what I remember from the classes.

Hi @safirzawad 

The 3 router limit applies to the university network, in addition, a router for the ISP is mentioned:

In the diagram attached, indicate the departments of the university. You just have to assign the corresponding host number and run VLSM to know which subnet corresponds to each department:

Thank you once again. I will review VLSM and do it for this system.

Remember that if your question has been answered, you can close the discussion by marking the correct answers as solved.

What would be the best router to use in this setup?

Hello,

the project is quite extensive, what have you designed so far ? You can post the Packet Tracer project (.pkt) file here, ZIP it first, otherwise the system won't let you upload it. We can help you with any issues. 

[safirzawad]

I have made the system according to the specs given above. I am planning on adding all the ip addresses and doing the necessary routing but am a bit lost..

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

thanks for the file, I'll have a look...

Hello,

I have rearranged your devices and put together a basic network with end to end connectivity. Have a look at the configurations and make the changes and additions necessary. Let us know if you need more help...

[safirzawad]

Thank you so much 

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

there are many different ways to connect everything, this is just one.The IP addressing and the RIPv2 configuration should work no matter what you finally end up with.

The file does not open on my version of packet tracer. Which version did you do it in?
