Secure Campus Network Design

This repository contains a project focused on designing a secure network infrastructure for a college campus. The primary file included is a Cisco Packet Tracer project file: Secure College Network.pkt.

Overview

The goal of this project is to create a scalable, reliable, and secure campus network architecture using industry-standard best practices. The design demonstrates how to segment networks, implement security controls, and ensure effective communication among campus departments.

Features

• Segmented VLANs for different departments (e.g., Administration, Faculty, Students, Guest)
• Secure routing and switching
• Access control with ACLs (Access Control Lists)
• Basic firewall configurations (if implemented)
• Redundant links and devices to ensure high availability
• Example IP addressing scheme and subnetting
• Device security best practices (passwords, SSH, etc.)

File

• Secure College Network.pkt
  This is a Cisco Packet Tracer file. Open it in Cisco Packet Tracer to view and interact with the network topology.

How to Use

1. Download the repository or the .pkt file.
2. Open the file in Cisco Packet Tracer (version 7.x or later recommended).
3. Explore the network topology, device configurations, and test network scenarios.

Prerequisites

• Cisco Packet Tracer installed on your computer.

Potential Enhancements

• Add documentation describing each network segment and device configuration.
• Include security policy documentation.
• Integrate more advanced security features (e.g., port security, 802.1X, firewall appliances).
