Practical Assessment: Network Design and Implementation, CSU

This practical assessment details the design and implementation of a network using Cisco Packet Tracer. The network comprises two LANs connected via routers, with servers and client machines configured with appropriate IP addresses. The assessment covers IP packet forwarding, ping tests, and traceroute commands to verify network connectivity. It further explores DHCP configuration for dynamic IP address assignment, DNS server setup for domain name resolution, and web server configuration. Additionally, it details the configuration of traffic filtering on the router using access lists to enhance network security. The assessment showcases a comprehensive understanding of network design principles, including IP addressing, routing, DHCP, DNS, and firewall configurations, demonstrating the student's ability to build and secure a network infrastructure.
