Network Infrastructure Design & Configuration (Cisco Packet Tracer)
Designed and implemented a simulated resort network in Cisco Packet Tracer to model a real-world hospitality IT environment. The project includes VLANs for Admin/IT, Front Desk, POS/Restaurant, Guest Wi-Fi, Security/CCTV, Servers, and Voice systems to improve segmentation, security, and troubleshooting.
I upgraded the network from a basic single-core design to an advanced setup with dual multilayer core switches, inter-VLAN routing, DHCP relay, DNS, guest Wi-Fi isolation using ACLs, network printer support, and Rapid PVST for redundant switching paths. I also troubleshot DHCP failures, trunk port issues, VLAN misassignments, and access port errors using Cisco show commands and ping testing.
This is an ongoing project that I am continuing to scale with future upgrades such as multi-site resort connectivity, fiber optic uplinks between buildings, stronger firewall rules, and production-style network documentation.
