FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENT
Design and implement a multi-location, inter-networking strategy for a small and

headquarters are in Boston and Mumbai. The company is located at 3 other
locations, which are New York, London, and Germany. Design your network
considering the following constraints/requirements.

same department
• Each Departments will have 2 user computers and multiple servers
based on your design
• Each router should have a hostname (Example Router-1 in Boston
will have hostname BOR1)
• Configure a DNS server in Boston Office. This server should be able
to resolve domain names of all the routers (Example Ping BOR1. This
should ping Boston Router-1) 5 Points
PROJECT DESIGN
• Use OSPF as the routing protocol. There are 5 offices, implement the area
concept of OSPF and configure every office in separate area for example: Boston
