Engineering Intern

• Jan 2018 - May 2018

• Completed the industrial training in the 8th semester. The objective of the project was to build a secure and efficient network for an organization. • Designed an enterprise network on Cisco Packet Tracer. Used Layer 2 (2690) and Layer 3 (3560-24PS) Cisco switches for communication and used IPv4 for configuring the interface. • Configured the Cisco router (2911 - ISR) as an acting firewall between intranet and external network. Apart from this, I configured a Demilitarised Zone for an extra layer of security. • Implemented spanning tree topology to reduce the looping problem in switches and ethernet channels to increase speed of data transfer. Power over Ethernet was used to reduce the power consumption. Show less
