The purpose of this project was to design a network for a company with remote branch offices. The author has interest in network architectures and wished to gain improved knowledge of remote networks.Comparative method was used in this project. Information was collected, analyzed, and choices were made to choose the right network design solutions for the goal of this project.The designing of a reliable, scalable, and secure network is a complex task that requires knowledge and experience over the wide area of computer networking, including knowledge of network device configuration, network types, routing protocols, potential security threats and many more. In this project the main approaches in network design were covered, and some of them demonstrated. Demonstration network was developed using the Graphic Network Simulator (GNS) software for simulating network devices.
