This project simulates a modular, scalable network infrastructure for a large corporate campus using Cisco Packet Tracer. It connects five departments via OSPF routing, assigns IP addresses dynamically using DHCP, and centralizes DNS and web services. Browser-based mock systems simulate real corporate processes like onboarding, invoicing, and asset management.
As part of a corporate campus expansion, the objective was to design a robust and expandable network infrastructure across five distinct buildings:
- Headquarters
- Sales Office
- Tech Center
- Human Resources
- Finance Division
Each building maintains:
- Independent LAN with DHCP server
- Router with OSPF for dynamic routing
- Access to centralized services hosted at the Headquarters (DNS and Web Server)
- IP Scheme: Class A addressing (e.g., 10.0.0.0 β 14.0.0.0)
- DHCP: Configured in each LAN to automate IP assignment
- Routing: OSPF implemented across all routers for inter-building communication
- DNS & Web Server: Located in Headquarters, accessible via
www.campusnet.com
- Simulated Business Processes: Web pages hosted internally for onboarding, asset tracking, and invoice handling
