Victoria University: LAN Technologies Assignment - Network Design

This assignment solution details the design and implementation of a Local Area Network (LAN) for Victoria University, addressing specific requirements for various departments across multiple buildings. The solution encompasses IP address planning, subnetting, and VLAN configuration to segment the network logically. It includes the configuration of a router with subinterfaces for VLANs, DHCP server setup for IP address allocation, and switch configurations for VLAN assignment. The document presents detailed configurations for routers and switches, including commands for interface setup, VLAN creation, and VTP configuration. Furthermore, it provides ping results to verify network connectivity and functionality. The assignment showcases the application of network design principles and practical implementation using Cisco Packet Tracer, demonstrating an understanding of LAN technologies and network infrastructure.
