This project simulates a structured enterprise network for a fitness facility using Cisco Packet Tracer.
The design was inspired by real-world observations from a current/previous workplace, modeling how devices, departments, and communication systems operate within a gym environment.
This network design reflects practical insights from observing daily operations within a fitness facility, including:
- Front desk check-in systems
- Sales team workstations and communication
- Use of IP phones for internal coordination
- Shared resources such as printers and servers
- Wireless access for staff and guests
By modeling this environment, the project demonstrates the ability to apply networking concepts to realistic business scenarios.
- Design a scalable network for a business environment
- Segment departments using VLANs
- Enable communication between networks (inter-VLAN routing)
- Simulate real-world device usage and connectivity
- Ensure reliable communication across all devices
- Cisco Packet Tracer
- Networking Fundamentals (TCP/IP, VLANs, Subnetting, Routing)
- Front Desk Network
- Sales Network
- VLAN segmentation for departmental separation
- Router-based inter-VLAN routing
- Integration of PCs, IP phones, printers, and server
- Wireless access point for connectivity
- Router configuration for inter-VLAN routing
- Switch configuration for VLAN setup
- IP addressing assigned across devices
