Network Design Project: VLAN and Redundancy Implementation at XXX Site

This project presents a solution to network performance and reliability issues at a specific site, identified as XXX. The current network design suffers from a single broadcast domain, causing slow speeds and high latency, and lacks redundancy, leading to potential network outages. The proposed solution involves implementing VLANs to segment the network into multiple broadcast domains, improving efficiency. Furthermore, the project introduces redundancy through the implementation of a redundant Layer-3 switch configuration and a ring network architecture. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is configured to prevent loops and provide link redundancy, while Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) is used for device redundancy. The solution includes sample configurations for VLANs, STP, and HSRP, along with supporting tables and diagrams, to facilitate the implementation of the proposed network design. The project aims to enhance network performance, improve fault tolerance, and ensure continuous network availability.
