PROJECTS

Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPN:

Created a core MPLS Network for two customers whose traffic was separated using VRF’s on the provider edge Routers. For connectivity between the customer’s different protocols were used like BGP and OSPF, Also OSPF backdoor was provided using Sham link. Whole setup was done in Gns3 using cisco router 7200.

IPSEC VPN Tunnel:

Created a IPSEC VPN tunnel between two branch offices connect over the internet for the secure transfer of data. The interesting traffic was defined using an extended access-list. The whole setup was done in GNS3 using cisco router 3600.
