Network Engineering Assignment.

You are one of the network specialists for ABC Company. Your boss has several tasks that include app development, troubleshooting, setting up a server, etc. You can choose to work individually or in groups depending on the requirements given for each task.

4. Troubleshooting the network topology given in packet tracer (refer to the appendix)

a. Individual work

b. Background: You are given a topology of the Company ABC in packet tracer.

     Recently, the company has been hacked and resulted in many connectivity issues.

     You are to find all the problems, fix them up and write a report on it.

c. Deliverables:

     i. Packet tracer file (after your amendments)

    ii. A short report outlining the issues and solutions

                                                                     Appendix

The topology has 3 major networks: HQ, WORLD and BRANCH as shown in the diagram below.

You are NOT allowed to do any modifications in the WORLD.

As a result of a recent security breach in the company, there are several problems found in the

following areas:

A. Routing Protocols ()

 HQ internal network uses RIP for internal and external connections.

 Branch internal network uses RIP for internal and external connections.

 Every router in HQ should be able to ping every other router

 Routers should be configured with a default route

You need to identify all the problems with the settings in each router, the impact on the

network due to the problems and how you can rectify them.

You need to implement your proposed solutions in the given packet tracer file.

IP addresses of the router interfaces are NOT to be changed.

Routers	Problems	Impact	Solutions
HQ Tech Router
HQ LVL1 Router
HQ LVL2 Router
HQ Router
Branch Router

B. Complaints from Staff ()

You need to identify all the causes associated with the complaints shown in the table below

and how you can rectify them. You do NOT need to mention any issues related to the

settings in the router for this section. You need to implement your proposed solutions in the

given packet tracer file.

C. Implementing Security Measures ()

The company decides to improve the security of the company by implementing the following:

1. HQ_Router

        a. Set up NAT/PAT – allowing internal users to go to the external network but blocks all

             incoming connections with the exception of the HQ server which is accessible from

              the external network with the IP address 200.20.2.3

2. Branch Network

        a. DHCP to be set up to allocate IP addresses to the Branch users

        b. Block connection to WWW Server

        c. Add in Branch user3 to the Branch Switch using VLAN2

        d. Branch user3 must be able to access the printer which is in VLAN1

        e. Branch switch to disable all unused ports

3. All routers

          a. Configure a password for privileged EXEC mode (password – cisco)

          b. Configure a password for the console connection (password – class)

          c. Configure a password for the VTY connection (password – cisco)

         d. Configure encryption to all passwords

         e. Configure a message of the day banner

          f. Inactive session timeout on the console port and the virtual terminal after 30

             seconds

 You need to implement the above requirements in the given packet tracer file.

 Comment on the security measures being implemented and how you can further improve them

D. Implementing VLAN ()

Describe how you would implement VLAN to the HQ and BRANCH LAN. You need to implement

this in the given packet tracer file.
