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
