Network Project
Overview
This project involves configuring a multi-VLAN network for a company with a main office and
a remote office. The main office contains three departments (HR, IT, and Sales), each assigned a
VLAN. The network should allow inter-VLAN communication by configuring a single router
interface with multiple sub-interfaces, each serving a different VLAN (a method called router-
on-a-stick), dynamic IP address assignment through DHCP, and communication with a remote
branch using static routing.
Topology Description
You will build a network with a main site and a remote site:
Main Site:
The main site includes one Layer 2 switch (Site SW) and one router (Site RT).
You will create three VLANs:
o VLAN 100 (HR) — supports 2000 hosts
o VLAN 200 (IT) — supports 2000 hosts
o VLAN 300 (Sales) — supports 2000 hosts
Each VLAN will be assigned a /21 subnet from the Class B network [Link]/16.
Each VLAN is assigned to a range of ports on the switch.
The switch is connected to the router via a trunk port, and router-on-a-stick
configuration is used for inter-VLAN communication.
The router provides DHCP services for all VLANs.
Remote Site:
The remote site includes one router (Remote RT) and one switch (Remote SW).
The remote LAN uses the subnet [Link]/24, and DHCP is configured on the remote
router.
A point-to-point link using subnet [Link]/30 connects the remote site to the
main site.
Configuration Tasks
Main Site Switch (Site SW):
Create VLANs 100, 200, 300
Assign access ports to each VLAN
Configure trunk on port to Site RT
Site Router (Site RT):
Configure router-on-a-stick subinterfaces
Assign IP addresses and encapsulation
Configure DHCP pools for VLANs
Set up static route to remote site
Remote Router (Remote RT):
Configure LAN and WAN interfaces
Configure DHCP for remote LAN
Set up static routes to main site VLANs
Remote Switch (Remote SW):
Connect PCs to default VLAN or optionally assign a new VLAN
Note: Each student must use their own full name when naming all devices (e.g.,
router, switch, PCs) in the Packet Tracer file. Any submission that shows identical
configurations, layouts, or content will be considered copied and may result in a
grade of zero.
Validation
Use ping to test:
o Between VLANs
o Between main site and remote site PCs
Use show vlan, show ip interface brief, show ip route for verification
Ensure DHCP IP assignment for all PCs
