LAN Design Goals • Functionality • The network must work. • Scalability • The network must be able to grow and contract to meet the needs of the organization. • Adaptability • The network must adapt to new technologies. • Manageability • The network must support network monitoring and management. Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual
Critical Components of LAN Design • Function and Placement of Servers • Intranets • Collision Detection (Ethernet) • Segmentation • Bandwidth Versus Broadcast Domains Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual
Server Placement • Servers can be categorized into two distinct classes: • Enterprise servers • Workgroup (departmental) servers Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual
Intranets • Centralized Web Servers (Comparable to Enterprise Servers) • Limited to Internal Users • Those that have logged in to corporate network • Accessed by Web Browser • Many Day-to-Day Job Functions on the Web Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual
Collision Detection (Ethernet) • Legacy Ethernet • Contention refers to excessive collisions caused by too many devices vying for services. • Broadcasts becomes excessive when: • Too many client packets looking for services • Too many server packets announcing services • Too many routing table updates • Too many broadcast-dependent protocols, such as ARP, DHCP, and so forth Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual
Broadcast and Collision Domains Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual
Network Design Methodology • Gathering Requirements • Analyzing Requirements • Designing the Network Topology • Designing the Layer 1, 2, and 3 LAN structure • Documenting the logical and physical network Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual
Gathering Requirements • Who will be using the network? • What resources do they need to access? • What is their level of skill? • What are their attitudes toward computers and applications? • What data and processes are mission-critical? • What protocols are allowed on the network? • What desktop hosts (OSs) are supported? • Who has authority over addressing, naming, topology design, and configuration? • What about the existing computer hardware and software? • How are these resources currently linked and shared? • What financial resources are available? • Who controls these resources?
