How mulaudzi-wanga/rural-digital-access-network works
This repository is a Cisco Packet Tracer project for a segmented rural-access network. Its documented workflow is to connect service-area devices through access and core switching, provide VLAN gateways and DHCP at the main router, control inter-VLAN traffic, and route toward a simulated external network; connectivity is then verified and documented. The README supports the topology and service relationships shown here. The Packet Tracer file and configuration evidence were not inspected, so device-level wiring and configuration details are not inferred.
