The Hospital Network System is a secure and efficient network infrastructure designed for hospital management. It implements VLAN segmentation, static routing, and access control to ensure secure communication between departments like Radiology, Emergency, and Administration while maintaining traffic isolation.
- 8 dedicated VLANs for departments (Radiology, IT, HR, etc.)
- Traffic isolation for security and performance optimization
- Access Control Lists (ACLs) to restrict unauthorized access
- Inter-VLAN routing for controlled departmental communication
- Static routing configuration between floors
- 0% packet loss verified through ping tests
- Wireshark analysis for packet flow verification
- Comprehensive connectivity testing
🔸 3-Floor Structure:
🔹 Ground Floor: Reception, Emergency, Pharmacy
🔹 Administrative Floor: Billing, HR, Administration
🔹 Medical Floor: IT, Radiology
🔸 Central Router for inter-VLAN routing
