3. LAN Network design with redundancy
Project Scope
A network which has redundancy in the design to be setup for an organization. The organization is currently having an internet connection, which is setup using a Cisco router. The gateway addresses for users in the LAN is currently provided as an intermediate routers address, which would then forward all internet bound packets to the internet router. The network has to be upgraded by having dual intermediate routers which would automatically failover, and provide high availability access to the internet. HSRP is to be used for the deployment. The project identifies the configurations required on Cisco routers to achieve the same.
Networking requirements
• LAN IP network design.
• Network Topology diagram.
• Configurations required on the routers to setup high availability with HSRP.
• Configurations required on the routers to setup appropriate IP address and internet packet forwarding on the routers.
• Configurations required on the LAN PC's for appropriate gateway parameters.
• Verification and Testing Procedure

5. Remote access VPN Network design behind NAT router
Project scope and description
In this project, a network has to be designed for remote access VPN. A windows XP VPN server is to be setup behind a Cisco NAT router.
The NAT router has a public IP address received dynamically by the ISP, which is also required to be used by the LAN users for internet. The remote users should be able to connect to the public IP address of the router, and establish connectivity with the VPN server. After connection is established, the remote user should be able to access systems on the LAN. LAN and VPN network should be segregated using appropriate VLAN's

6. IP CCTV Network Design for Enterprise
Project Scope
An enterprise network has to be integrated with IP CCTV's. The network has 4 floors. Each of the floors has approx 40 users. There are a total of 4 nos of 48 port switches at each floor. The computers of the users receive IP address through a dhcp server, which is setup on the broadband ADSL router from the 192.168.1.0/24 network.
