Network Construction Lab

Objective

Take a bunch of random bits of hardware (switches, Raspberry Pi computers, and servers) to build out a network from scratch to illustrate what goes into building a network. The project will cover topics like:

• the process of laying out a network
• coming up with names for the devices
• devising an IP addressing scheme
• firewalls
• DNS
• DHCP
• VLAN
• VPN
• virtual machines
• routing
