Networking Labs Portfolio

Description

This section showcases the networking labs I have completed using Cisco Packet Tracer. Each lab includes a brief explanation of its objectives and the tools used to demonstrate my practical knowledge in networking.

Labs Completed

1. Basic Router Security Configuration

Secured routers by configuring passwords, enabling SSH for secure remote management, and disabling unused ports to reduce security vulnerabilities.

Tools Used: - Cisco Packet Tracer - Command Line Interface (CLI)

2. Basic Router Configuration

Performed initial router setup, including assigning hostnames, configuring interface IP addresses, and enabling routing protocols for network connectivity.

Tools Used: - Cisco Packet Tracer - Command Line Interface (CLI)

3. Basic Switch Configuration

Configured a switch for VLAN creation, port security, and management access to improve network segmentation and security.

Tools Used: - Cisco Packet Tracer - Command Line Interface (CLI)

4. Basic Serial Connection Configuration

Established WAN communication by configuring serial connections between routers and setting up encapsulation protocols for data transfer.

Tools Used: - Cisco Packet Tracer - Command Line Interface (CLI)

5. VLAN Configuration

Designed and implemented VLANs to segment and organize network traffic, enhancing performance and security within the network.

Tools Used: - Cisco Packet Tracer - Command Line Interface (CLI)

6. VLAN Configuration with Trunk Encapsulation

Enabled VLAN traffic to pass between switches by configuring trunk ports with 802.1Q encapsulation protocols.

Tools Used: - Cisco Packet Tracer - Command Line Interface (CLI)

7. Inter-VLAN Routing (Router on a Stick)

Set up inter-VLAN communication using a single router interface configured with subinterfaces for each VLAN.

Tools Used: - Cisco Packet Tracer - Command Line Interface (CLI)

8. Inter-VLAN Routing Troubleshooting

Diagnosed and resolved issues in inter-VLAN routing, including correcting misconfigurations and improving network connectivity.

Tools Used: - Cisco Packet Tracer - Command Line Interface (CLI)

9. Local Username-Password Database Configuration

Created local user accounts and configured authentication to secure administrative access on network devices.

Tools Used: - Cisco Packet Tracer - Command Line Interface (CLI)

10. Message of the Day (MOTD) and Login Banners

Set up Message of the Day and login banners to display organizational notices and security warnings upon device access.

Tools Used: - Cisco Packet Tracer - Command Line Interface (CLI)
