## Abstract

In response to the evolving healthcare landscape, this project aims to design and implement a robust network infrastructure for Melbourne Health Services using Cisco Packet Tracer. The focus is on enhancing security, operational efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

---

## Introduction

Melbourne Health Services operates across multiple locations, necessitating a secure and efficient network infrastructure. The project proposes the design and implementation of a hierarchical network model using Cisco Packet Tracer to meet these needs.

---

## Problem Statement

Current reliance on third-party IT services poses challenges related to cost efficiency and data security. Internalizing network infrastructure control is crucial for ensuring data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

---

## Project Goal

To establish a resilient and cost-effective network infrastructure for Melbourne Health Services through the deployment of a hierarchical network model using Cisco Packet Tracer.

---

## Proposed Methodology

### Hierarchical Network Design:

- Utilize Core Routers, Multilayer Switches, and Access Switches.

- Implement redundancy strategies for enhanced reliability.

### VLANs and Subnetting:

- Allocate VLANs and subnets for departmental segregation.

- Apply VLAN configurations for secure traffic management.

### Security Measures:

- Configure Access Control Lists (ACLs) for user access control.

- Implement Virtual Private Network (VPN) solutions for secure communication.

- Enforce port-security measures to restrict unauthorized access.

### Routing Protocol (OSPF):

- Deploy OSPF for dynamic routing and efficient data transmission.

### DHCP Configuration:

- Set up DHCP servers for IP address management.

- Allocate static IPs for stability within the network.

### Monitoring and Testing:

- Integrate network monitoring tools for performance optimization.

- Conduct comprehensive testing to validate network functionality.

   - Develop a detailed network topology.

   - Configure Core Routers, Multilayer Switches, and Access Switches.

2. **VLANs and Subnetting Configuration**

   - Plan VLAN allocation and implement configurations.

3. **Security Measures Implementation**

   - Configure ACLs, VPN solutions, and port-security measures.

4. **Routing Protocol Configuration (OSPF)**

   - Deploy OSPF and ensure route advertisement.

5. **DHCP Server Setup and Testing**

   - Establish DHCP servers and validate IP allocation.

6. **Network Monitoring Tool Implementation**

   - Deploy monitoring tools for real-time performance tracking.

---

## Expected Outcome

- Enhanced security with improved data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

- Cost-efficiency through reduced dependency on external IT services.

- Operational efficiency with streamlined communication and dynamic IP allocation.

- Increased reliability with a resilient hierarchical network design.

---

## Conclusion

The proposed network redesign for Melbourne Health Services aims to enhance security, operational efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. By implementing a hierarchical network model using Cisco Packet Tracer, the project ensures scalability, reliability, and adherence to industry standards.
