Computer Networking Project: Secure College Campus Network using Cisco Packet Tracer
This project demonstrates the design and implementation of a secure and efficient college campus network. The network connects multiple departments like students, faculty, and administration while keeping them isolated using VLANs for better security and organization.
We implemented key networking concepts such as:
• VLANs for network segmentation
• DHCP for automatic IP allocation
• DNS for easy access to services
• ACL for restricting unauthorized access
• Router-based communication between networks
The system ensures that:
✔ Each department operates in its own secure network
✔ Sensitive data is protected from unauthorized users
✔ All services (web, IP assignment, etc.) are centrally managed
✔ Communication is controlled and efficient
The project was built using Cisco Packet Tracer with routers, switches, servers, and end devices, and includes full step-by-step configuration and testing.
🚀 This showcases how real-world campus networks can be designed to be secure, scalable, and well-organized.
