Computer Networking Projects

Perform any of the following projects in groups using cisco packet tracer (CPT)
and prepare a report of 10-12 pages including cover page and submit in a
file.

1. Configure heterogeneous computer networks simulation in Cisco Packet

Tracer environment
Hints: Build a heterogeneous local area network (LAN) based on unshielded
twisted pair and fiber optic cable in Cisco Packet Tracer. PC and switch models are
used to configure the network. Network settings had static IP addressing and
Dynamic IP addressing can also be used by similar heterogeneous local area
networks. Such heterogeneous networks can be created using other transmission
media, such as radio channels, telephone lines, coaxial and serial cables.
2. Configuration of Firewalls in Educational Organization LAB setup by using
Cisco Packet Tracer
Hints: Firewall is an equipment or programming device that shields PCs, systems,
laptops from undesirable system congestion. Perform the experiments in CPT
a. Filtering inbound ping traffic b. Filtering inbound traffic based on IP address c.
Filtering inbound Web traffic d. Hosts filtering based on Media Access Control
(MAC) address
3. Implement a secure campus network and simulate it using Cisco packet
tracer (Use new versions)
Hints: Build a secure campus network (SCN) for sending and receiving information
among high-security end-users. Create a topology for a campus of multi networks
and virtual local area networks (VLANs’) using cisco packet tracer.
4. Designing Smart College Network Using CISCO Packet Tracer
Hints: Build Smart College network that incorporates the Internet of Things (IOT),
the new technological paradigm is conquering the entire world by connecting
various objects around us. IOT make people's lives easy and comfortably and IOT
use in different applications one of them is education, the smart college (a college
that uses IOT) use smart devices used in a campus utilize WiFi network for
receiving instructions and sending data.
5. Configure a College network scenario using CPT
Hints: Configure a topology for a network that is a LAN (Local Area Network) for a
college, where several computers from various departments are set up so that
 they may interact and exchange data with one another. It encourages
communication between many departments so that a networking architecture
may be created for a college that links several departments together. Utilizing
CNA, a deliberate and well-considered topology that satisfies all of the college's
standards is created (i.e., client). To establish connection between end user
devices and create a network, first choose appropriate networking hardware, such
as routers and switches, and then physically connect cables to serial and fast
Ethernet ports on the packet tracer component list.
6. Designing of a Company Network Scenario Module by using Cisco Packet
Tracer Simulation Software
Hints: Build a company network scenario using CPT for Small to Medium
Enterprise (SME). It has to be a secured network often used in big organizations
and other institutions to make a secured communication and sharing’s of their
documents, files, etc. should also be secured. As you know that there are many
departments in an organization. This project should include this feature. Distance
vector routing protocol is required for this project and the routers are password
protected for security purpose. In this setup Network Address Translation (NAT) is
very essential in which you have to translate live Internet Protocol (IP) into local
and vice-versa.
7. Design and Configuration of Static Network Address Translation Techniques
Method Using Cisco Packet Tracer Tool
Hints: The explosive growth of internet and increases of business and home
networks mainly depends on the Network Address Translation (NAT) because the
insufficient of available IP addresses. IP address is mandatorily required to
communicate on the internet from one computer to another computer. In
computer networks the single device of a router is acting as an agent between the
local area network and internet as allowable by Network Address Translation. This
technology of Network Address Translation may help in many ways for the
Network System Engineers and Networks Administrators specially to reduce the
cost and timing when they are configuring the part of IP addresses. Three
categories of NAT available especially in computer networks mainly that Static
Network Address Translation (Static NAT), Dynamic Network Address Translation
(Dynamic NAT) and Port Address Translation (PNAT). Configure Static NAT using
Cisco Packet Tracer Simulation tools for networking people.
8. Configuration of server services on the client-server computer network
Hints: In a client-server architecture, a server is dedicated to providing various
services, functions, and resources to serve its clients' requests over a computer
network. Use Cisco Packet Tracer to simulate various server services such as DHCP,
HTTP, DNS, FTP, Email, NTP, and Firewall. The mini-project simulation helps you
to understand the capabilities of the simulator to providing a wide range of server
services.
