Date of Submission: _________________________________
I. Lab Topology Overview
Simulate a secure home network using Cisco Packet Tracer. Your network includes:
Device Role Packet Tracer Device IP Address Notes
Wireless Linksys WRT300N 192.168.0.1 Gateway, Wi-Fi, Port Forwarding
Router
Laptop Laptop-PT + Wi-Fi module 192.168.0.10 Full access
Desktop PC-PT 192.168.0.20 Web access only
Guest PC PC-PT 192.168.0.30 Blocked from servers
Web Server Server-PT (HTTP) 192.168.0.100 Port 80
FTP Server Server-PT (FTP) 192.168.0.110 Port 21
DNS Server Server-PT (DNS) 192.168.0.120 Resolves hostnames
Switch 2960 Switch — Optional for wired links
Internet Cloud-PT — Optional
II. Lab Requirements
You must complete the following tasks:
a. Wi-Fi Router Security (WRT300N)
1. Change default admin credentials
2. Set SSID to SecureHomeNet
3. Enable WPA2 encryption
4. Use strong passphrase (e.g., SunriseSecure2025!)
5. Disable WPS
6. Restrict remote management
7. Limit DHCP range
8. Enable MAC filtering to simulate access control
b. Network Configuration
1. Assign static IPs to all devices
2. Simulate three servers:
o Web Server (HTTP on port 80)
o FTP Server (FTP on port 21)
o DNS Server (resolves web.local, ftp.local)
3. Configure port forwarding on WRT300N:
o External port 8080 → Web Server port 80
o External port 2121 → FTP Server port 21
4. Configure DNS service:
o Add A records for web.local → 192.168.0.100
o Add A records for ftp.local → 192.168.0.110
5. Simulate access control:
o Allow Laptop full access to all servers
o Allow Desktop access to Web Server only
o Block Guest PC from accessing any internal servers
6. Verify connectivity using ping, browser, FTP client, and DNS resolution
7. Create a network diagram showing IPs, services, and access flow
8. Submit your .pkt file, screenshots, and written reflection
