Expert Computer Network Design & Configuration for Small Office

We are seeking a skilled network professional to design and configure a robust and secure computer network for a small office environment. The project encompasses several key areas to ensure optimal performance and reliability.

Key deliverables and requirements include:

Network Topology Design: Develop a comprehensive network topology diagram, clearly illustrating all network devices, connections, and logical segmentation.
Router and Switch Configuration: Configure routers and switches to establish efficient data flow and connectivity across the network.
VLAN Setup: Implement Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) to segment network traffic, enhance security, and improve network management.
IP Addressing Scheme: Design and implement an effective IP addressing scheme for all network devices and workstations.
Basic Network Security: Configure fundamental security measures, including firewall rules, access control lists (ACLs), and secure administrative access to network devices.
Connectivity Testing: Thoroughly test all network components and connections to ensure full functionality and troubleshoot any issues.
Complete Documentation: Provide detailed documentation of the entire network setup, including configuration files, ip addressing plans, vlan configurations, and security policies.

Final deliverables must include the project files compatible with GNS3 or Cisco Packet Tracer for future reference and simulation. The goal is to establish a stable, secure, and easily manageable network infrastructure tailored to the needs of a small office.
