## Overview

Mooifontein is a network-infrastructure design for connecting a ranch’s three remote sites. Its documented workflow turns client requirements into physical and logical network designs and a VLSM plan, with Packet Tracer milestones representing implementation and simulation work. The design emphasizes routed site connectivity, departmental segmentation, and isolated IoT networks. The tree contains three documentation files and six Packet Tracer files; the README describes additional deliverables, but no source excerpts or individual simulation contents were available to verify their internal wiring.

Main entry points: [`docs/physical-topology.md`](https://github.com/potlako-85/mooifontein-network-design/blob/main/docs/physical-topology.md) (Physical topology), [`README.md`](https://github.com/potlako-85/mooifontein-network-design/blob/main/README.md) (Logical topology), [`docs/client-requirements-spec.md`](https://github.com/potlako-85/mooifontein-network-design/blob/main/docs/client-requirements-spec.md) (Client requirements), [`docs/addressing-plan.md`](https://github.com/potlako-85/mooifontein-network-design/blob/main/docs/addressing-plan.md) (VLSM plan)
