[HOSPITAL NETWORK]
A depiction of a hospital network on Cisco Packet Tracer V 7.1.1
INTRODUCTION
The network is simulating a hospital network environment, incorporating multiple departments
in a hospital, including Research Centre, An OPD and an in-patient department along with
finance and a core management department, the research center simulated is spanned over
multiple cities, is also paired with top security and disaster warning systems; Being a crucial and
expensive set up, it is the most secure in the entire network grid.

Approach to the problem

Our approach to the problem is well structured and systematic. To provide simplest and ease in
connectivity we have segregated the entire project into different departments.

In total we have 7 departments:

1. General (E-ACL is applied)

a. Can communicate within only
2. Financial (port security is enabled)
a. Max 3 address
b. Violation results in shutdown
3. Management
4. Nursing
5. Patient (each on different VLANs)
a. Patient ward
b. Diagnostics
6. Research (each research center on different networks)
a. Karachi
b. Islamabad
c. Lahore
d. Quetta

 All research centers can communicate with each other and the PD Server only, and
the management
 Finance can communicate with the management only.
 Nursing, patient and management will be able to communicate, with each other except
 GENERAL ROUTER CAN ONLY TALK TO DHCP

What did/didn't work?

In the making of the project, we encountered, several software crash issues, where we
did all the configurations and out of the blue Cisco Packet Tracer crashed putting our
days’ worth of work in vain; causing us to redo the entire configurations, we also
encountered delay in routing table of the routers, making us try sending packets several
times in order to make sure the connection is valid.

As the network consists of several different networks including Class A subnetted, this
caused, issues in implementing ACL, and several false positive results

On the other hand, many basic things worked well, the router configurations were
seamless, the switches worked exactly as expected without delays, there were some
issues encountered in wire choice that were taken care of by installing the correct wire
type.

Conclusions
We started off the project by trying to simulate a real life network and opted to simulate a large
hospital network, which spans over cities, our network constitute of an IPD, OPD, Nursing
Department, Finance department, with appropriate access control implementations ensuring
secure transmission of data within network of the entire hospital.

 a. What was accomplished / learned
As they say, you learn something new every day, we too had a lot to learn
from this project, including but not limited to:
 To implement port security, on a single port of switch, you need a
hub connecting all those PCs to a single port of a switch
 Implementing ACL and EACL efficiently.
 Adding smoke and motion detector, along with a siren and
configuring it.
 How to trigger a smoke detector.
Further we accomplished subnetting Class A IP, implementing EIGRP on a big
network, implementing it on network of this size was the first time, discovered
and connected smoke detectors, sirens, motion sensors etc.

b. What you would have done differently?

We could have added diverse types of switches, and tried with different
types and models of routers, but settled with these to avoid
misconfigurations as troubleshooting would have been a feat.
