Entry 13 Networking Project what I have done so far

Just to give an up date on the status of my project all designs are close to finished
This is as of week 6  29 of august

Site 1 

Central 

This campus is running IPV6

I  designed it to specifications given in week 1 by supervisor. 

I have setup a basic addressing scheme. I also setup dhcpv6 .

I have setup vlan 10,20,30,90. 

I have setup ether channel to have better bandwidth between devices.

also have setup password for vty,console and enable.

I have setup remote connection via ssh

Site 2

North campus & South

This campus is running IPV4

A dhcp server has been setup. addressing has been applied to interface of the router
I have Setup encapsulation dot1q for each planned vlan on the Dhcp and a dhcp pool for each vlan
Has configured  vlan 10,20, 30, 32 and 99.
have setup ether-channel on the switches where need and have also setup Hsrp where needed

also have setup password for vty ,console and enable.

I have setup remote connection via ssh

have a spanning tree portfast , bpdu guard and rapid-pvst

at this time i have tried to keep north and south up to the same stage

Research

So far I have researched on how to setup voice over ip

Have researched on how to setup IDS and IPS 

Have researched to to configure ASA 

Have done some reading up in frame relay 

also done some Research into wireless 

Also looked at different sorts of authentication

and starting to look at communication between IPV4 & IPV6

Attempted 

I have attempted to configure an ASA and IPS I still need more practice before
I imperilment it in the design
I have also attempted Configuring VOIP  on ipv4 and Ipv6  this is still in the beginning stages

Difficulties 

I have had problems with implementing a few spanning tree configuration I am still working on this .

I am going to downsize the network for testing for connectivity and if the network operates properly the simulation is being over loaded I think.

I have had problems with dhcp this maybe because the stimulation is being over loaded.

Limitation of Software

so far limitations have meant that i must use hsrp instead of what i may have use Glbp because packet tracer would not accept the commands.



This is a basic overview so far of what i have done in the project

  

  

  

  

  

  

entry 12 networking project

At this time I am working on implementing md5 authentication with ospfv2 for ipv4 and ospfv3 for ipv6. This is going quite well with not much hidden challenge. I am also working out what to implement in the way of access-lists and where to implement them.for now things are looking quite good i am unsure when i will have it implemented in all the different campus networks. I am also implementing  per vlan dhcp for different levels of access on the network.  this is what is in progress to date i have implemented hsrp for the reason that glbp will not function on packet tracer.  

Entry 11 networking project/ addressing

Setting up dhcp in a network this size has started to become a challenge and i am unsure how long it Will take me to Finish it I planned to impediment security by to day but have been unable to due to these challenges. setting this up has been alot larger task than i had imagined so I have to re think my implementation of DHCP on the networks running ipv4 due to the fact that they are bigger and they most like require more than one dhcp server. due to this I am attempting to run dhcp on the layer 3 switch that is located near each part of the network. this is experimenting with addressing.

security will be delayed for now until addressing is complete this is a setback in the original timing and schedule  of the project this should be finished by the end of the week to be include in progress of milestone 1 on the project design, addressing, internal connectivity and security security should have been left for milestone 2 of the project that was a mistake on my part of not quite understanding how much is involved to complete each stage of the project  

the design for central dose not work for north and south campus and must be change and improved to work as the network should with all the addressing needed to function

overall a small delay is expected but I am unsure how long it could be    

Entry 10 networking project / connectivity and addressing

At this point In my project I am researching on firewalls and have been working on trunking, port balancing and ether channel. Have also been working on physical topology to get everything working correctly as possible. I have be attempting to setup up dhcp in all 3 campuses and the addressing for each of the routers to detain the dhcp excluded address range. as of the morning Tuesday 19 August this is where I am up to.
scheduled completion of this is due on the 29 August 2014      

Entry 9 Networking Project / connectivity

It update I have most of the design work on the topology on Packet Tracer. I have started ether channel implementation on the network for one of the campuses, it has also gotten to the stage where i must start with addressing so all together most of this week has been the basics of the project. This week has been a success to the beginning of the project. today is Thursday time is 2:39 pm date 14 August 2014 to date this part of the project. I am currently working DHCP and Ether channel next to check connectivity and begin implementing eigrp or ospf protocols. This is another update on my project progress      

Entry 8 Networking Project / Connectivity

Connectivity stage is at beginning with the completion of the design on Central and North.
addressing will be next progress is on schedule, static addressing has be attempted but for end users I have to setup a dhcp for the addressing. designing each building to its specs and the specs of the given network.
This part takes alot time designs should be finished by the end of this week.connectivity is at the base is working statically ether channel ports must be configured to check full connectivity. 

    
 

Entry 7 Networking project /connectivity

Today I manged to start the design of the other site starting with South Campus. This is Just a outline design this can be changed at this time this is week 4 of my project. Packet tracer is limited but at this time it seem to run alright with the basics. the network in only in the connectivity stage where with basic configurations it should have local connectivity within each campus first. This includes addressing via Dhcp either ipv4 or ipv6 where required. Then there is configuration of the ether channel links between switches, configuration of
 ip phones vlan configurations and many things along those lines. next stage will be security, connectivity stage should be done by the middle of week  5 at the latest. this is need to meet with milestone one of my project. due in a few weeks.        

Entry 5 networking project

I have been coming up with my project outcomes and stages these and all estimated but a thing to keep the timetable to per week to know what i have to do when and to see if I have fallen behind or not

Entry 6 networking project

This is week 3 so far I have Finished the project proposal. I have also tested the basics of the network using packet tracer and am most to start designing the other parts of the network considering how to implement required security for the design and simulation. The beginning of  the design of the project.
 

entry 4 Networking project

Have been working on the project plan a few hours one the last 5 days. I have nearly completed my project plan well I guess I think I have I will have to see. Got my charts almost finished for planned hours and budget. The Project Brief is almost finalised but unlikely to have any core changes to the main part.
Project planning is due the end of this week ideally and according to the requirements of the project.
This is a networking project that is design all is done in packet tracer. This is similar to the gear that I have worked on but in a much bigger scale of design. Some things that are in the project there may be time to test on there actual equipment depending on the availability and limitations on the gear and the limitations of packet tracer may mean not all requirements are possible at the designing stage. all research i plan to do is
is going to be base on that I can do all these thing and then check to see if I can or not. every requirement should be meet as much as possible as I have been told.
