Entry 28 Networking project

Update

VOIP work on packet tracer i was using the wrong route on packet tracer and i have got it working with IPV4 but for IPV6 it dose not work the router taht is used is not compadable with IPV6 which means this is a limitaion of packet tracer this is at the near end point. Ospf is working on Packet tracer between campuses across both tunnel and frame-relay this is just for testing it only need to run across the tunnel because the tunnel is across  frame-relay.   

Entry 27 Networking Project

Update

Today is the day milestone 2 is due I have adjacency working between router on the edge of each campus between the tunnels and the frame relay addresses. I was having problem so I erased the ospf configurations and redid them and then everything seemed to work  I am unable to explain why that happened but i am glad it is now working after an hour of doing that it was not time wasted. this is a good result adjacency still dose not happen between routers on each side of the ASA

Entry 26 Networking project what I have done so far

What I have done so far

Milestone 1 Made up the design

Milestone 1 Setup  Dhcp for ipv4 on north and south and dhcp for ipv6 on central

Milestone 1 I have setup vlans for management, students, academic staff, and admin staff.

Milestone 1 /2 Have setup intervlan routing on some of the routers

Milestone 2 setup Ospf and check adjacencies

Milestone 2 Setup the vlans on that asas for dmz, outside and inside

Milestone 2 I have setup frame relay between campuses

Milestone 2 I have setup gre tunnels over frame relay

I have attempted to configure

Milestone 2 An ips this did not work

Milestone 2 Voip also did not work it is possible I will and will be configured

Milestone 2 IPsec VPN does not work on packet tracer so I had to go with  GRE Vpn

This point is milestone  2 due 26 September  2014

At this point dhcp is working alright and I can ping  from end host to end host one it has received and address via dhcp. Pinging Through the asa is hard and there is no sign of connectivity between inside to outside at this point. I have not set up many access-lists for the reason that they could interrupt with the testing and pings. I have made the tunnels and can ping from one side to another. But each time I set up all the campuses together I must reapply the source of the tunnel for it to activate.

I am also attempting to simulate an external web server for internet connectivity testing  the internet connection is at the central campus and for north and south the need to access it via the central connection to them  

Ip phone will be setup as i now know how i can get it working i need to use a different router on packet tracer

Entry 25 networking project

Update

I am in the middle of testing connectivity before i put in more access-list and i am still working on it and i have slowly made a few changes to get connectivity but not many changes. I am not able to ping through the ASA on packet tracer i am working out if it is possible. and setup more security on the network i main have been setting up the part of the network to see if they work before securing them on packet tracer. at this point i still have found no way of getting VOIP to work on the project and implementing an IPS I may experiment with an IDS. It is coming on well I will have to spent some time in the holidays working on it.
week 10 is at this point is going alright.

The project interconnection is working to a certain point i could not use ipsec tunnel I had to use gre
which is less secure but it is what is supported on packet tracer

Entry 24 Networking project

Update

at this time I a trying to get the access-list applied to the stimulation. It seems to be working so far. and i am attempting simulate an ISP I am still working out how to do that. as it is thing seem to not work on packet tracer that I was going to setup so i will have to work on that. I am also preparing for my milestone 2

and most of it for milestone 2 is working.

so far it has take shape nicely and I have almost done what part of the project that can be successfully done on packet tracer. i have attempted to start the report but i do not have all the information to be able to finish it at this point.    

 

Entry 23 Networking project

Update

At this time I am hitting alot of limitations of packet tracer in my project this is the fact it will no run ips and I cannot find a way to run VOIP on the project network this means that I cannot configure these things as apart or my project on the simulation and i maybe likely to finish  a few others i will work on stimulation of an internet connection. I am still investigating into these problems 

Entry 22 networking project

I have been currently working on ipv6 on the Central and had to make the simulation smaller to prove connectivity due to the hardware I running it on is not fast enough to run all the redundant paths so I just have the main ones in place and it is working on the central Packet tracer is limited and the lab hardware. the simulation still proves connectivity and that is all works so that is the big thing.

At this point most things are working and are the project is on track to be finished in week 11 but i have until week 12 so that seems good for now I am finishing the project and beginning to write the report and prepare the presentaion

Entry 21 Networking Project

Update

For now I have been configuring GRE tunnel between each of the campus. I have connectivity Between each campus through GRE tunnel. each time setup the project on the computer I have to configure the source overtime it is setup it dose not save the source interface in the configuration in packet tracer and it will not accept a source ip address i have tried to do that as an alternative it will still not work I am trying to test ipsec tunnel on packet tracer at this time i am not sure if it will work.I have setup the vlans and interfaces on the asa with security-levels and the basics only asa 5505 available on packet tracer.   

Next

This is where I will attempt to setup ip sec tunnel if i cannot this is a limitation on the software

I am going to setup voice over ip and the final stuff for ipv6 and setup Nat or ipv4 tunnel through ipv6. 

Entry 20 Networking Project

Update 

At this point I have successfully configured and tested frame relay on the networking and the interconnection between multiple Computers in the Lab class Has been successful

Next step

attempt and finish configuring VPN tunnels between campuses to Begin with GRE tunnel

This is where I am at this stage at the end of week 8  milestone 2 due week 10

Entry 19 Networking Project

Update

Testing with frame relay has finally finished and I am beginning to Implement it using Sub interfaces

It is slowly being configured and so far is working. The tunneling is going to put in when the connectivity over frame-relay is complete. I had to setup a cloud in packet tracer for the reason I could not apply static frame relay commands on a router or a switch I have not figured out why at this time all i know is so far the other way is working. 

 

  

Entry 18 Networking project

This is what is current 

At this point in the project I am working on the addressing for the interconnection of the project This is on
the frame relay network in the middle of the network. This connection is slowly taking shape with everything being tested at this point The project is on track I just have to test it for now.  I am working on The tunneling between the sites and campuses.

Difficulties in the in Current step

At this time I am having trouble with tunneling Tunnel do work but due to limitations in the software I cannot setup everything with tunneling that would be ideal I am still figuring out the limitations before I apply it to the The project simulation.    

Next steps

This is setting up access from each campus to the dmz due to the fact that I have IPV6 on one campus

I have to setup communication between IPV6 and IPV4 Networks The dmz on the central should be accessed From each campus i have to make this work in one or the ways possible line For example Nat option for ipv4 to ipv6 or tunneling IPV4 through IPV6. 

Configuring more on the asa and setting up an IDS and IPS if possible i have to test this

Research 

At current VOIP has been in my current research. Along with Configuring An IPS, IDS and ASA setup for security.   

For now this is what is happening just for an update on my project  

  

Entry 17 Networking Project

The interconnection now works on the simulation. The multi-user mode is now working now to implement the test the Frame relay at the moment the middle frame relay is a work in progress it finally has progress
Basic test on frame relay has happened tested separately so I will have to see how it works on the simulation
Things are almost on track which is at this point important.
So for now I better get back to doing my project.

  

Entry 16 Networking project screenshots

Screenshots

Central Design done on Packet Tracer 

North Design Done on Packet tracer

South Campus Design on Packet Tracer

These are screen shots of the cut down devices design to test the system is working
all of these were take while the program was loading and not all links were active this just gives a small idea into what it looks like from a device point of view. just to note that all end devices are clustered in groups.
these images are just a basic look of the project

Entry 15 Networking project

At this time I have been working on the interconnection between site I have had an interesting time trying to link simulations together.  I have been in the beginning stages of setting up frame relay on the project and also from the project brief deciding a more detailed security policy for the network. at this time it is a cut down version on the end networks because of software and computer limitations I will upload picture of my project so far as my next post so for now i am working on it and i will have to see how far I get by the end of the day

Entry 14 Networking project

I have lowered the amount of devices in the project on packet tracer and nearly all of the problems I was having have been solved this was because the simulation was overloaded for the the computer I was running it on connectivity everything works at the moment.

I have been thinking more about setting up VOIP and Frame relay at this time in the project thing in this respect are on track  and  designing the interconnection between the campus. also working with the scaling
of running voice over ip internally. also looking into VOIP on a larger scale on the network and experiment if it works if i have time to set it up.
