Goal
Simulate real-world firewall protection with segmented security zones.
Network Design
Built Server, DMZ, UAT, and User zones with VLAN-based subnets.
Security Focus
Validated traffic flow, WAN redundancy, and protected zone design.
Technical Highlights
- Built separate zones for Server, DMZ, UAT, and User networks
- Configured VLAN-based subnets and gateway design
- Used dual WAN and backup uplink for connectivity design
- Connected switches through port-channels for redundancy
- Validated traffic flow and segmentation between zones
