Course Project

Overview

In this project you will be using Cisco Packet Tracer to configure a wireless network with VoIP capability and data transfer.  Establish three interconnected wireless networks with  a separate access point for each network.  The access points should be interconnected and each access point will have its own DHCP server.  Run a simulation to demonstrate the functionality of your network by sending both voice and data information.  The mobile devices have the capability of a smart phone which means that they can communicate with the access point using either voice or data.

Requirements

  • Watch the following YouTube videos for background information on creating wireless and VoIP networks and setting up NAT system required in this project.
  • Create a Packet Tracer system with two separate networks, each with its own router.
  • One of the networks includes three separate, but interconnected, access points.  Each device is connected to an access point through a wireless network.  This is a basic service set architecture, so there are no ad hoc wireless connections between devices.  This networked system can use a single router connection between the access points and the Internet.  However, between the access points and the router/gateway, install a switch and a network address translation (NAT) to convert IPv4 structured network to IPv6 encapsulated for transfer into the Internet via the router/gateway.  All of the devices must support both data and voice.  The internal IPv4 addresses need to be assigned via DHCP, however, the public IPv4 and IPv6 protocols can be static.  The mobile devices do not support IPv6 addressing.
  • The second network has a router/gateway and appropriate switches and interfaces with at least two servers and a wireless local area network with an access point.  All of the devices must support data and voice.  The mobile devices do not support IPv6 addressing.
  • Run simulations that show connectivity among all the devices for the transfer of both voice and data.  The architecture needs to include at least two servers that demonstrate the client/server exchange process for data.
  • Run a simulation that shows the path for a VoIP phone call from a device within each of the access point networks to a device in each of the other three access point networks.
  • Provide a screenshot of your network diagram and explain.
  • Provide a description of the connectivity paths for both the data transfer and the VoIP connection.

Deliverables

  1. A 13-15 page paper (see rubric) describing your approach and the process you used to create the network.  .  Include a functional block diagram showing the information flow and screen shots as appropriate. Be sure to include a description of your network and illustrate how your project works and meets all the required criteria. (50 points)
  2. Demonstrate the functionality of your project by providing a 10 to 12 minute video presentation. You have to submit the recording showing your simulations running and the result.  The video needs to illustrate execution and culminate in a result (30 points).
