Implementing Network Infrastructure

using Cisco Packet Tracer


Introduction
In today’s interconnected world, a solid understanding of network infrastructure is more crucial
than ever. Gaining hands-on experience with network design and implementation can be a
significant hurdle due to the cost and complexity of physical hardware. This is where Cisco
Packet Tracer comes in. This powerful simulation tool provides a virtual environment to design,
configure, and troubleshoot network topologies, offering an invaluable sandbox for learning and
experimentation. In this post I will implement a network infrastructure for a project scenario with
Cisco Packet Tracer.

Project Scenario
Company: WongKito Solutions — A growing technology consulting firm

Current Situation: WongKito has outgrown their basic network setup and needs a professional,
scalable network infrastructure to support their expanding operations.

Company Structure
Headquarters (Jakarta): 11 employees

• Sales Department: 6 employees


• IT Department: 3 employees
• HR Department: 2 employees

Branch Office (Palembang): 9 employees

• Sales Department: 4 employees


• Temporary contractors/guests: 5 concurrent users

Business Requirements Document


Primary Requirements:
R1 — Network Segmentation

• Separate network segments for each department for security and performance
• Sales, IT, HR departments must have isolated broadcast domains
• Guest network must be completely isolated from corporate resources
• Inter-departmental communication should be controllable

R2 — Automatic IP Management

• All end-user devices must receive IP addresses automatically


• IP address management should be centralized where possible
• Reserved IP ranges for servers and network equipment
• DNS services must be provided to all users

R3 — Site-to-Site Connectivity

• Both locations must communicate seamlessly


• Branch office must access headquarters resources
• Routing must be dynamic and automatically adapt to network changes
• Network convergence time should be minimized during outages

R4 — Internet Access

• All corporate users must have internet access


• Internet access should be centralized through headquarters
• Public IP addresses must be conserved using address translation
• External users should not be able to access internal resources directly

R5 — Security Policies

• Guest users cannot access any corporate network resources


• HR department requires restricted access (can communicate out, limited inbound access)
• All inter-network communication must be logged and controllable
• Network access should be controlled at multiple layers

R6 — Scalability and Redundancy

• Network design must support future growth (50% expansion)


• Single points of failure should be minimized where possible
