I was assigned with the project namely “ VOICE OVER INTERNET PROTOCOL ”. Assigned the task of Designing and configuration of routers, computers, laptops, switches, IP phones, servers. I utilized the CISCO packet tracer to deploy the theoretical knowledge in a virtual integrated development environment so as to configure and console the devices. The project is based on the concepts of networking. It includes configuring different network devices like Router, Switch connecting it with systems, servers and IP phones by using different types of connecting wires by allocating the IP Addresses to all the interfaces after the sub-netting of network ID.
In this project the main branch is connected to 2 other networks or locations using Microsoft and Cisco technologies. The main branch includes Domain Name Server, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, Internet Information Services, Exchange Server, IP Phones, Cisco Switches, Cisco Routers. It also includes Cisco Link sys wireless Router.
The project is based on the concepts of networking. It includes configuring different network devices such as Router, Switch connecting it with PCs and IP phones by using different types of connecting wires by allocating the IP Addresses to all the interfaces after the sub-netting of network id. The beauty of configuring network devices is that it helps users access the network with few constraints like allowing some to access the website but not allowing them to access the mail server on the internet on private IP address which are otherwise excluded by internet service provider (ISP). Exchange server is used to provide messaging, support for mobile and web access to info. & support for data storage device. Main server & systems as well as exchange server relies on IP, DNS, DHCP, IIS and other technologies for communicating between themselves. Switch here is Cisco switch which provides services like creation &management of systems and IP phones in main branch and it is the device which connects the devices in main branch, main router and links to other locations to each other in a network. The information from each system or device i.e. client or server in main branch, router, IP phones and from other locations passes through switch interface. Main Router is responsible for communication between different networks that is, main branch and other networks. The main router here describes the best path to reach the system in a network from a system in another network.
