This project looked to simulate implementing and setting up routers in an enterprise style network. As such, the project looked at simulating the connection of two separate sites using routers, and having the communication between these carried put through a permanent, preconfigured IPsec tunnel, rather than requiring users to set up a tunnel client side. The connection was required between the two sites to allow members of the department to communicate and send data to one another as if they were on the same network. Furthermore, this network was also required to ensure that the other LAN in Site A remained segregated, as security feature.

Steps taken:

• Installed and configured Vyos based routers using GSN3
• Set up an IPsec tunnel between both routers.
• Within one premises, created two isolated subnets, with on subnet connecting to the other premises.
• Documented work carried out as well as testing to ensure that the network operated correctly and met the criteria.
