CIS114-6 Network Systems and Administration Assignment - Portfolio
Unit learning outcomes -
1. Demonstrate deep and systematic understanding of system and networking concepts, including principles, technologies, and emerging trends.
2. Scientifically and critically analyse, implement and evaluate networking techniques, technologies, strategies and methodologies used in industry. Apply analytical and problem-solving skills in order to select and implement networking solutions appropriate to multiple organisational and environmental contexts.
Task - Your task is to implement a virtualised environment-based solution demonstrating the operation of a VPN operating in site-to-site (Tunnel mode). Your virtual machines (VMs) requirements must include 2 VyOS routers (fully configured using the VyOS router own commands - similar to Juniper and Cisco routers commands as shown in Figure 1 attached.
Figure 2 attached shows an optional configuration where additional XP VMs are to be used to demonstrate the VPN operations in both site-to-site and remote VPN (Tunnel and Transport modes) with additional Wireshark captures to be performed from one of the XP VMs.
Note: The values of XXX, and YYY will be allocated to each student separately by the unit staff and published on BREO to use in your configuration. No student is to use any numbers not allocated to them. Use of a command line sniffer such as tcpdump should is required on the networks to demonstrate the mode of operation.
You are required to either build the VMs from scratch or use the official VyOS VM available from our FTP server (see document on BREO), Dr Ali Mansour's shared Google drive (see link on BREO), or from the official website.
A brief description of the requirements is given below:
Task 1 - Implement the topology shown in Figure 1 with fully functional routers (i.e. a network connecting the two VyOS routers).
The network should be configured, tested, demonstrated, and clearly documented (part of task 3) showing its full operation. Routing between the two routers must be configured using any form of routing. Details of your routing implementation must be clearly stated/shown.
Task 2 - Configure, test, and demonstrate the VPN operation.
Captured traffic must be shown to demonstrate the operation of the VPN and when the VPN is not active.
Task 3 - Technical report documenting all the work done in the previous tasks. See the points below under Documentation Requirements.
Optional Task - Implement the topology shown in Figure 2 using the same network in Task 1 extended with 2 Windows XP VMs to demonstrate transport mode operation. The network should be configured, tested, demonstrated, and clearly documented as in Task 3 requirements showing its full operation. Wireshark captured traffic must be shown to demonstrate the operation of the VPN and when the VPN is not active.
Demonstrations - To demonstrate the full operation of your systems in your report with accompanying screenshots and sniffer dumps, follow the steps below:
1. Test the connectivity between the two routers to show successful results.
2. Capture the connection traffic using a sniffer installed on one of the routers.
3. Activate your VPN tunnel and check the connection between the routers.
4. Capture the traffic over the VPN tunnel.
5. Compare the two types of captured traffic and explain your results.
