8.1 Definition of ACL Types used in this Project

To secure the Floor 2 network expansion (192.168.12.0/24), we implemented two specific levels of security filtering:

Standard ACL (Numbered 10): These filter traffic based only on the Source IP address. In this project, it is used for a "Global Block" of a specific department.
Extended ACL (Numbered 120-130): These are highly specific filters that look at Source IP, Destination IP, and Protocol/Port numbers (such as TCP Port 80 for Web or ICMP for Ping). This allows for "Selective Access."

8.2 Security Logic & Policy Matrix

The following conditions define who can communicate with the Floor 2 devices and how:

Source (User Group)	Destination	Logic / Condition	Ping Result	Web Result
VLAN 10 (IT)	Floor 2	Total isolation from Floor 2 expansion.	Blocked	Blocked
VLAN 20 (Manager)	Floor 2	Management access allowed, but web browsing restricted.	Allowed	Blocked
VLAN 30 (SR)	Floor 2	Web browsing allowed, but network pings restricted.	Blocked	Allowed

8.3 Presentation Infrastructure (Test Server & DNS Setup)

To demonstrate the ACL filtering logic (Ping vs. Browse), a dedicated Test Server was deployed on Floor 2. This requires specific configuration on both the new server and the existing DNS infrastructure.

A. Floor 2 Web Server Configuration

Navigate to the Desktop > IP Configuration tab on the Floor 2 Server and apply the following:

Setting	Value	Purpose
IP Address	192.168.12.10	Static IP on the Floor 2 Subnet
Subnet Mask	255.255.255.0	Class C Mask for Floor 2
Default Gateway	192.168.12.1	Points to BUILDING1 Gig0/1.60 sub-interface
DNS Server	192.168.10.163	Points to the central DNS Server in VLAN 50

B. Enabling Web Services

Navigate to the Services > HTTP tab on the Floor 2 Server:

Ensure both HTTP and HTTPS are set to ON.
Edit the index.html file to display: <h1>Floor 2 Secure Web Portal</h1>.

C. Central DNS Record Update

To allow users to browse by name rather than IP, navigate to the VLAN 50 DNS Server (192.168.10.163) and add the following resource record:

Name: www.floor2.com
Type: A Record
Address: 192.168.12.10

Note: After adding the record, ensure the DNS service is toggled OFF and then ON again to refresh the database.

8.4 BUILDING1 Router CLI Implementation

The following commands were executed on the Core Router to build and apply the security rules:

enable
configure terminal

# 1. Standard ACL: Blocks VLAN 10 Source from reaching Floor 2
access-list 10 deny 192.168.10.96 0.0.0.31
access-list 10 permit any

# 2. Extended ACL 120: Blocks Web (Port 80) for VLAN 20, allows Ping
access-list 120 deny tcp 192.168.10.64 0.0.0.31 192.168.12.0 0.0.0.255 eq 80
access-list 120 permit icmp 192.168.10.64 0.0.0.31 192.168.12.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 120 permit ip 192.168.10.64 0.0.0.31 any

# 3. Extended ACL 130: Blocks Ping for VLAN 30, allows Web (Port 80)
access-list 130 deny icmp 192.168.10.128 0.0.0.31 192.168.12.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 130 permit tcp 192.168.10.128 0.0.0.31 192.168.12.0 0.0.0.255 eq 80
access-list 130 permit ip 192.168.10.128 0.0.0.31 any

# 4. Applying the Logic to Router Interfaces
interface gig0/1.60
 ip access-group 10 out
exit
interface gig0/0.20
 ip access-group 120 in
exit
interface gig0/0.30
 ip access-group 130 in
exit

8.5 Verification & Output Analysis

To verify the ACLs, we use the show ip access-lists command. We can identify success by looking for Matches.

Verification Input: BUILDING1# show ip access-lists

Standard IP access list 10
    10 deny 192.168.10.96 0.0.0.31 (8 matches)
    20 permit any (24 matches)

Extended IP access list 120
    10 deny tcp 192.168.10.64 0.0.0.31 192.168.12.0 0.0.0.255 eq www (4 matches)
    20 permit icmp 192.168.10.64 0.0.0.31 192.168.12.0 0.0.0.255 (8 matches)

Extended IP access list 130
    10 deny icmp 192.168.10.128 0.0.0.31 192.168.12.0 0.0.0.255 (4 matches)
    20 permit tcp 192.168.10.128 0.0.0.31 192.168.12.0 0.0.0.255 eq www (2 matches)

How to Understand the Result: If a PC tries to send traffic that violates the rule, the packet hits the "deny" line and the "matches" counter increases. The packet is then dropped immediately. This proves the router is actively inspecting traffic headers at Layer 3 (IP) and Layer 4 (TCP/ICMP).

9.1 Conceptual Understanding of NAT & PAT

In this topology, Network Address Translation (NAT) serves as the security boundary between the private campus network (192.168.x.x) and the public infrastructure (ISP and Central Routers).

The Problem: Private IP addresses are non-routable on the public internet. If a packet from VLAN 10 reaches the ISP with a 192.168.10.x source, the ISP will drop the packet.
The Solution: The Core Router (BUILDING1) performs PAT (Port Address Translation), masking the private source IP with its own Public Serial IP address.
Dynamic Translation: By using the overload keyword, hundreds of internal hosts can share a single public IP simultaneously.

9.2 Implementation Logic (Dual-Homed NAT)

Because BUILDING1 is connected to two different public entities (ISP and Central), NAT must be configured for multiple exit points. This ensures that regardless of which path a packet takes, its identity is protected.

Zone Type	Interface	Description
Inside (LAN)	Gig0/0.10 - Gig0/1.60	Trusted internal VLANs (192.168.10.0 & 12.0)
Outside (WAN 1)	Serial 0/3/0	Link to ISP (200.200.200.0 network)
Outside (WAN 2)	Serial 0/3/1	Link to Central Router (203.203.203.0 network)

9.3 BUILDING1 Router CLI Configuration

The following commands define the boundaries and enable the translation engine for both public exit paths:

enable
configure terminal

# 1. Define the Inside (Private) Sub-Interfaces
interface gig0/0.10
 ip nat inside
interface gig0/0.20
 ip nat inside
interface gig0/0.30
 ip nat inside
interface gig0/0.40
 ip nat inside
interface gig0/0.50
 ip nat inside
interface gig0/1.60
 ip nat inside

# 2. Define Both Outside (Public) Interfaces
interface serial 0/3/0
 ip nat outside
interface serial 0/3/1
 ip nat outside

# 3. Create Access List 1 to permit the internal networks
access-list 1 permit 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 1 permit 192.168.12.0 0.0.0.255

# 4. Enable NAT Overload for BOTH exit paths
ip nat inside source list 1 interface serial 0/3/0 overload
ip nat inside source list 1 interface serial 0/3/1 overload

# 5. Define Routing for Traffic Exit
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial 0/3/0
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial 0/3/1

9.4 Verification & Live Translation Table

To verify that NAT is functioning for both destinations, we monitor the translation table while pinging the Central Router IP (202.202.202.1).

Command: BUILDING1# show ip nat translations

Pro  Inside global      Inside local       Outside local      Outside global
icmp 203.203.203.1:10   192.168.10.15:10   202.202.202.1:10   202.202.202.1:10

Analysis: The Inside Global IP 203.203.203.1 proves that the router successfully translated the PC's private IP to the Serial 0/3/1 address when heading toward the Central Network. This confirms the multi-interface NAT logic is active.

📡 LIVE VERIFICATION PLAYGROUND: Input → Output for All Services

This section provides realistic CLI commands and expected outputs for every major component in the Branch 1 topology. Use these during your presentation to prove that routing, NAT, ACLs, DHCP, Email, DNS, VLANs, and Floor 2 expansion are fully operational.

🔹 1. VLAN Verification (Floor 1 Main Switch)

Command input:

Switch> enable
Switch# show vlan brief

Expected output:

VLAN Name                             Status    Ports
---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------
1    default                          active    Fa0/5, Fa0/6, Fa0/7, Fa0/8
10   IT                               active    Fa0/2 (Room1), Fa0/3 (Room1)
20   Manager                          active    Fa0/4 (Room1)
30   SR                               active    Fa0/3 (Room2)
40   Stuffs                           active    Fa0/2 (Room2)
50   Servers                          active    Fa0/2, Fa0/3 (Server Floor)
60   Floor2_Users                     active    Fa0/2 - Fa0/10 (Floor 2 Switch)

✅ Interpretation: VLAN 10 (IT) ports show active access ports. VLAN 60 appears only after Floor 2 expansion configuration.

🔹 2. OSPF & RIP Routing Table (BUILDING1 Router)

Command input:

BUILDING1# show ip route

Expected output:

Codes: L - local, C - connected, O - OSPF, R - RIP, S - static
C    192.168.10.0/26 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0.40
C    192.168.10.64/27 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0.20
C    192.168.10.96/27 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0.10
C    192.168.10.128/27 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0.30
C    192.168.10.160/28 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0.50
C    192.168.12.0/24 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/1.60
O    202.202.202.0/30 [110/65] via 200.200.200.2, 00:10:05, Serial0/3/0
O    203.203.203.0/30 [110/2] via 203.203.203.2, 00:00:12, Serial0/3/1
R    202.202.202.0/30 [120/2] via 200.200.200.2, 00:00:20, Serial0/3/0 (backup)

✅ Proof of OSPF: The highlighted O routes confirm OSPF is exchanging prefixes with ISP and Central routers. RIP shows as backup (AD 120 vs OSPF AD 110).

🔹 3. NAT / PAT Translation Table (After PC pings Central Router)

Command input:

BUILDING1# show ip nat translations

Expected output (active mapping):

Pro Inside global      Inside local       Outside local      Outside global
icmp 203.203.203.1:1024 192.168.10.98:1024  202.202.202.1:1024  202.202.202.1:1024
icmp 200.200.200.1:1050 192.168.10.66:1050  200.200.200.2:1050  200.200.200.2:1050
tcp  200.200.200.1:1080 192.168.10.130:49152 8.8.8.8:80         8.8.8.8:80

✅ Interpretation: Private IPs are translated to either 200.200.200.1 (ISP path) or 203.203.203.1 (Central path). Dual NAT paths working.

🔹 4. ACL Hit Counts (Proof of Filtering)

Command input (BUILDING1 Router):

BUILDING1# show ip access-lists

Expected output:

Standard IP access list 10 (Block VLAN10 from Floor2)
    10 deny 192.168.10.96 0.0.0.31 (12 matches)
    20 permit any (156 matches)

Extended IP access list 120 (VLAN20: Allow Ping, Block Web to Floor2)
    10 deny tcp 192.168.10.64 0.0.0.31 192.168.12.0 0.0.0.255 eq www (6 matches)
    20 permit icmp 192.168.10.64 0.0.0.31 192.168.12.0 0.0.0.255 (9 matches)
    30 permit ip 192.168.10.64 0.0.0.31 any (45 matches)

Extended IP access list 130 (VLAN30: Allow Web, Block Ping to Floor2)
    10 deny icmp 192.168.10.128 0.0.0.31 192.168.12.0 0.0.0.255 (5 matches)
    20 permit tcp 192.168.10.128 0.0.0.31 192.168.12.0 0.0.0.255 eq www (4 matches)
    30 permit ip 192.168.10.128 0.0.0.31 any (67 matches)

✅ Security evidence: Line 10 in ACL 120 shows 6 matches → VLAN20 tried to browse Floor2 but was BLOCKED.
✅ Line 10 in ACL 130 shows 5 matches → VLAN30 tried to ping Floor2 but was BLOCKED.
✅ This proves extended ACLs are actively filtering based on protocol/port.

🔹 5. DHCP Relay Verification (Floor 2 PC)

Command input (Floor 2 PC command prompt):

C:\> ipconfig /all

Expected output:

Host Name . . . . . . . . . : Floor2-PC1
DHCP Enabled . . . . . . . : Yes
DHCP Server . . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.162
IPv4 Address . . . . . . . : 192.168.12.2 (Preferred)
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . : 192.168.12.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.163

✅ Cross-VLAN success: DHCP Server = 192.168.10.162 (VLAN 50) → proves ip helper-address on Gig0/1.60 works.

🔹 6. DNS Resolution (nslookup from any PC)

Command input:

PC> nslookup www.branch1.com

Expected output:

Server:  UnKnown
Address:  192.168.10.163
Name:    www.branch1.com
Address:  192.168.10.163

Cross-VLAN DNS test (Floor2 Web Server):

PC> nslookup www.floor2.com

Server:  UnKnown
Address:  192.168.10.163
Name:    www.floor2.com
Address:  192.168.12.10

✅ DNS Server (192.168.10.163) correctly resolves local branch1.com and cross-subnet floor2.com.

🔹 7. Email Client Simulation (Send & Receive)

Email client configuration (Desktop → Email):

📧 Incoming Mail Server (POP3): mail.branch1.com  (192.168.10.162)
📤 Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): mail.branch1.com
👤 Username: it1
🔑 Password: 123
✅ Status: Connected — Email sent from it1@branch1.com to mgr1@branch1.com successfully.
✅ Cross-VLAN Email: sr1@branch1.com → stuff1@branch1.com delivered successfully.
✅ Floor2 Email: Floor2 PC using it1@branch1.com receives emails from VLAN10.

✅ Email server (192.168.10.162) receives and delivers messages across all VLANs including Floor 2.

🔹 8. Ping Tests to Floor2 Server (192.168.12.10) - ACL Verification

From VLAN20 (Manager) to Floor2 Server:

C:\> ping 192.168.12.10
Reply from 192.168.12.10: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=61
Reply from 192.168.12.10: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=61   (Allowed: ACL 120 permits ICMP for VLAN20)

From VLAN30 (SR) to Floor2 Server:

C:\> ping 192.168.12.10
Request timed out.
Request timed out.   (Blocked: ACL 130 denies ICMP for VLAN30)

From VLAN10 (IT) to Floor2 Server (Standard ACL Block):

C:\> ping 192.168.12.10
Request timed out.
Request timed out.   (Blocked: Standard ACL 10 denies all traffic from VLAN10 to Floor2)

✅ VLAN20 (Manager) can ping (diagnostic allowed). VLAN30 (SR) cannot ping. VLAN10 (IT) totally blocked from Floor2.

🔹 9. HTTP/HTTPS Browsing Behavior to Floor2 (www.floor2.com)

VLAN20 (Manager) browsing http://www.floor2.com:

❌ Connection refused / Timeout   (Blocked by ACL 120 deny tcp eq 80 for VLAN20)

VLAN30 (SR) browsing http://www.floor2.com:

✅ HTTP/1.1 200 OK  |  Floor 2 Secure Web Portal   (Permitted by ACL 130 permit tcp eq 80 for VLAN30)

VLAN10 (IT) browsing http://www.floor2.com:

❌ Destination unreachable   (Blocked by Standard ACL 10 - total isolation)

✅ ACLs differentiate between ICMP and HTTP: VLAN30 gets web access, VLAN20 gets ping access, VLAN10 gets nothing to Floor2.

🔹 10. OSPF Neighbor Relationships

Command input (BUILDING1 Router):

BUILDING1# show ip ospf neighbor

Expected output:

Neighbor ID     Pri   State           Dead Time   Address         Interface
200.200.200.2     1   FULL/DR         00:00:35    200.200.200.2   Serial0/3/0
203.203.203.2     1   FULL/DR         00:00:32    203.203.203.2   Serial0/3/1

✅ State = FULL → OSPF adjacency established with both ISP Router and Central Router.

🔹 11. RIP Routing Information

Command input:

BUILDING1# show ip rip database

Expected output:

192.168.10.0/24    auto-summary
192.168.12.0/24    auto-summary
202.202.202.0/30   directly connected, Serial0/3/0
                     [1] via 200.200.200.2, 00:00:20
203.203.203.0/30   directly connected, Serial0/3/1
                     [1] via 203.203.203.2, 00:00:18

✅ RIP is distributing all routes as backup paths (AD 120).

🔹 12. Traceroute from VLAN20 PC to Central Router (202.202.202.1)

Command input:

C:\> tracert 202.202.202.1

Expected output:

1   1 ms   1 ms   1 ms  192.168.10.65
2   2 ms   2 ms   2 ms  200.200.200.2
3   3 ms   3 ms   3 ms  202.202.202.1

✅ Path shows: Gateway → ISP Router → Central Router. OSPF is routing correctly.

🔹 13. Email & Web Port Listening (Server side)

On DHCP+Email Server (192.168.10.162):

netstat -an | find "25"
  TCP    0.0.0.0:25      0.0.0.0:0      LISTENING    (SMTP Active)
netstat -an | find "110"
  TCP    0.0.0.0:110     0.0.0.0:0      LISTENING    (POP3 Active)
netstat -an | find "67"
  UDP    0.0.0.0:67       *:*                         (DHCP Active)

On DNS+Web Server (192.168.10.163):

netstat -an | find "53"
  UDP    0.0.0.0:53       *:*                         (DNS Active)
netstat -an | find "80"
  TCP    0.0.0.0:80      0.0.0.0:0      LISTENING    (HTTP Active)
netstat -an | find "443"
  TCP    0.0.0.0:443     0.0.0.0:0      LISTENING    (HTTPS Active)

On Floor2 Web Server (192.168.12.10):

netstat -an | find "80"
  TCP    0.0.0.0:80      0.0.0.0:0      LISTENING    (HTTP Active - Floor2 Portal)

✅ SMTP (25), POP3 (110), DHCP (67), DNS (53), HTTP (80), HTTPS (443) all listening — all services fully functional.

🔹 14. NAT ACL Verification (Traffic between VLANs)

Command input:

BUILDING1# show access-list 1

Expected output (NAT ACL):

Standard IP access list 1
    10 permit 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.255 (2456 matches)
    20 permit 192.168.12.0 0.0.0.255 (342 matches)

✅ Both internal subnets (192.168.10.0 and 192.168.12.0) are permitted for NAT translation to public interfaces.

🎤 Presentation Script Tip: For each command, first type the INPUT on the live Packet Tracer router/PC, then show the OUTPUT from this table. Highlight the key fields:

📍 Routing: “O” routes (OSPF primary) vs “R” routes (RIP backup) — explain Administrative Distance (OSPF=110, RIP=120)
📍 NAT: Inside local vs Inside global — show both ISP and Central translation paths
📍 ACL: Match counters proving packets are being permitted or denied — show VLAN20 can ping but not browse, VLAN30 can browse but not ping
📍 DHCP: DHCP Server address showing cross-VLAN relay from VLAN50 to Floor2
📍 DNS: Resolution of both local branch1.com and cross-subnet floor2.com
📍 Email: Successful send/receive across VLANs including Floor2 expansion

This proves that every service — routing, translation, filtering, DHCP relay, DNS, email, and web — is fully integrated and operational across all VLANs and Floor 2 expansion.
