Slide 1: Introduction
Title: Company Network Design
Content:
• Company Name (e.g., “Tech Solutions Ltd.”)
• Subtitle: “Network Design Presentation”
Script:
"Hello, everyone. My name is [Your Name], and today I'll be presenting the network design for our company, Tech Solutions
Ltd. This network is designed to support secure communication within the company as well as controlled access to our public
web services. Let’s start with an overview of the network."
Slide 2: Network Overview
Content:
• A screenshot of the entire network from Packet Tracer with labels for routers, switches, servers, and client devices.
Script:
"Here is an overview of the network design. As you can see, the network consists of two routers, Router0 and Router1, which
connect the internal and external networks. We also have two switches that connect various internal devices like PCs,
servers, and a printer. The external part of the network includes an external client connected to Router1, which simulates
access from the internet. This design provides a clear separation between internal and external networks, ensuring secure
access to resources."
Slide 3: Internal Network Design
Content:
• A zoomed-in screenshot or labeled diagram of the internal network.
• Bullet points:
o Devices: PCs, Printer, Web Server, DNS Server.
o Connected via Router0 and Switches.
Script:
"Now, let’s look at the internal network. Here, we have two PCs, a printer, a web server, and a DNS server, all connected
through Router0 and two switches. The purpose of this setup is to allow internal communication between devices while
keeping critical resources like the web and DNS servers accessible to authorized users. The web server hosts the company’s
website, while the DNS server translates the domain name www.company.com to its IP address. This allows internal clients to
access resources easily and efficiently."
Slide 4: External Network Design
Content:
• Screenshot showing the external client and Router1.
• Bullet points summarizing:
o External client connected via Router1.
o Simulates access to the web server from outside the company.
Script:
"Moving on to the external network. Here, we have a client device connected through Router1. This external client simulates
a user accessing the company’s web server from outside the company. To control and secure this access, NAT (Network
Address Translation) is set up on Router1, which translates public requests to the internal IP address of our web server. This
allows the external client to access the company’s website using the URL www.company.com while keeping our internal
resources protected from direct access."
Slide 5: Key Configurations
Content:
• Bullet points:
o NAT configured on both routers.
o DNS Server configured to resolve www.company.com.
o Screenshot or close-up of NAT and DNS configuration if available.
Script:
"Here, I want to highlight the key configurations that make this network function smoothly. First, NAT is configured on both
Router0 and Router1. This setup allows devices on the internal network to access external resources and enables controlled
access to the web server from the internet. Second, the DNS server is configured to resolve www.company.com to the IP
address of our web server. This means that users can access the web server using a simple URL instead of remembering the
IP address, which improves user experience and accessibility."
Slide 6: Security and Access Control
Content:
• Summary of security measures: NAT, DNS.
• Diagram with labeled access points.
Script:
"Security is a top priority in this network design. By using NAT on both routers, we can control access between internal and
external networks. NAT acts as a barrier, preventing unauthorized access to internal resources while allowing legitimate
traffic to pass through. Additionally, having a DNS server inside the network adds a layer of security, as it allows only
approved devices to resolve and access internal resources. These measures work together to create a secure environment for
both our internal and external users."
Slide 7: Challenges and Solutions
Content:
• Bullet points with challenges:
o Setting up NAT for external access.
o Configuring DNS for URL-based access.
Script:
"During the network setup, we encountered some challenges, such as configuring NAT to allow external access to the web
server. We resolved this by setting up specific NAT rules on Router1 to forward traffic to the web server. Another challenge
was configuring the DNS server to correctly resolve www.company.com to the internal web server’s IP address. By
troubleshooting and adjusting the configurations, we were able to ensure that both internal and external users could access
the web server smoothly."
Slide 8: Conclusion
Content:
• Summary points about the network’s functionality and security.
• Final thoughts.
Script:
"In conclusion, this network design meets our company’s requirements for secure, efficient communication between internal
devices, while also allowing controlled external access to public resources. By implementing NAT, DNS, and well-structured
access controls, we have created a robust network that balances accessibility and security. Thank you for your attention, and
I’m happy to answer any questions."
Presentation Tips
1. Practice and Pause: Practicing each slide in sequence will help you get comfortable with the flow. Don’t rush—speak
slowly and clearly, and pause slightly at the end of each main point.
2. Engage with Visuals: When explaining a diagram or configuration, use phrases like "As shown here," or "If you look at
this part," to direct the viewer's attention.
3. Formal Language and Tone:
o Keep sentences complete and formal.
o Use transition phrases like "Next, I’ll explain…" or "As we move on…".
o Avoid filler words like "um" or "uh" by briefly pausing instead.
4. Recording Tips:
o If you’re recording a voiceover, do it in a quiet place to avoid background noise.
o Record in short segments, slide by slide, if that’s easier to manage.
o Review your recording and re-record any sections if needed, but don’t worry if there are minor mistakes—it’s
natural and keeps it authentic.
By following this detailed guide and script, your presentation will be clear, professional, and engaging. Good luck, and feel
free to ask if you need any additional help!
