Illustration 1 — Projet : Administration des réseaux

You are in a professional context and you must provide and maintain, for an up-and-coming startup, servers able to host the services essential to its operation.

The company Awoui specializes in the development of new clean-energy technologies, such as solutions providing electrical autonomy for the towers at La Defense

.The manager Leroy Jenkins expects from you a deliverable ensuring the traceability of your actions regarding the setting up, the administration and the upkeep of the networks.

A first set of specifications is passed on to you; here are the points it covers:

  • Choose the right network devices, according to the needs

Choice of the equipment and the technologies (advantages, drawbacks?).

Define the network addressing plans.

  • Set up routers or switches

At least two geographically distant sites (LAN) to be connected over WAN

  • Design and automate the VLANs

Deploy at least 3 Vlans per site (LAN)

  • Set up hardware redundancy

Switch redundancy (equipment + interfaces), HSRP router

  • Tell apart and apply the different routing protocols

Two routing protocols of your choice, to be spread over two remote networks

  • Carry out a redistribution between the two "parts", routed on one side with one of the protocols EIGRP, OSPF or RIP, and on the other side with another of these protocols.

Point-to-point WAN connections on the routers.

  • Use an intelligent addressing plan

Secure the access to the network equipment + ACL

Set up a remote access (SSH) on your equipment

Enable, retrieve and define information through the SNMP service

You can send your DAT for checking or for further information.

Done with pleasure, it is better that way!
