Description

The goal of this project was to study the vulnerability of a small company network system and build a secure Local Area Network that would be capable of providing network resources and services as well as Internet connections to local users and a limited access of network service to public users.To accomplish the project, a simulated network system was built in the laboratory and network devices were configured for layer 2 and 3 security features, the firewall was deployed to filter out the incoming and outgoing IP traffic. The simulated network was found to be security tight, working for end to end client connections, working for internal connection, working for remote client connections through Internet or wireless connection, and being accessible to the public user.
