NETWORK DESIGN
NETWORK DESIGN CONCEPT

1.NETWORK REQUIREMENTS

Fast Recovery

Application Response Time

Easy of management

Fast troubleshooting

2.NETWORK DESIGN GOAL

Availability

Security

Scalability

Manageability

new applications without impacting the level of service delivered to existing users.

the failure of a single link or piece of equipment should not significantly impact network performance

Planning the location of security devices, filters, and firewall features is critical to safeguarding network resources.

A network that is too complex or difficult to maintain cannot function effectively and efficiently.

3.Architecture Of Flat Network Design

small networks and is implemented using Layer 2 switching.

more challenging than in a hierarchical network.

not necessarily be an issue, as long as the network stays small and manageable.

4.Three-layer hierarchical network design

Distribution layer

Access layer

Core layer

5.The Cisco Enterprise Architectures

Three areas of focus in modular network design

Server farm

Enterprise edge

Enterprise campus

Contains the network elements required for independent operation within a single campus or branch location

A component of the enterprise campus, the data centre server farm protects the server resources and provides redundant, reliable high-speed connectivity.

It contains all the elements required for efficient and secure communication between the enterprise campus and remote locations, remote users, and the Internet

6.Methodology

Step 2
Characterize existing network

Step 3
Design the network topology and solution

Step 1
Identify network requirement

7.Cisco Lifecycle Services

to successfully deploy and operate Cisco technologies.

maximise performance throughout the lifecycle of a network.

six-phase approach (PPDIOO)

SIX phases – Prepare, Plan, Design, Implement, Operate & Optimise.

Designed to support evolving networks.

8.PPDIOO Phases

The Prepare phase:

The Plan phase

Develop a network strategy

assessing the business case for the proposed architecture

network requirements based on goals, facilities, user needs, and so on.

the scope, cost, and resource parameters established in the original business requirements.

PPDIOO Phases

The Implement phase:

The Operate phase:

The Design phase:

Support availability, reliability, security, scalability, and manageability

Integrate devices without disturbing the existing network or creating points of vulnerability.

daily operations, includes high availability and reducing expenses.

9.Approaches for network design

Top-Down:

Bottom-Up:

The PPDIOO methodology uses the top-down approach.

A common approach but not recommended.
