NIT2222: Wide Area Network Technologies Project - College of Science

This project report details the implementation of Wide Area Network (WAN) technologies, addressing IPv6 and IPv4 configuration, routing protocols, and network address planning. The student was tasked with migrating a company's network from IPv4 to IPv6, focusing on the HQ and two branches (A and B), while branch C remained on IPv4. The solution includes IPv6 subnet planning, address assignment tables, IPv4 and IPv6 routing configurations using OSPF, and IPv4/IPv6 network NAT-PT configuration. The report presents the configurations for each router, including the HQ router, Branch A, Branch B, and Branch C, along with verification steps. The student successfully configured the network, demonstrating a strong understanding of WAN technologies, IP addressing, and routing protocols. The project includes detailed configurations and verification steps, demonstrating the student's ability to implement and troubleshoot complex network setups. The assignment also includes the configuration of NAT-PT for the HQ router to enable communication between the IPv6 and IPv4 networks.
