Description
|
This is the all-in-one guide to the what, why, and how of modern campus network design. It: provides a "readers digest" overview of modern technologies used to build resilient, scalable campus infrastructures; shows readers how to build switched and routed networks that securely support IP Telephony, QoS, and Wireless LANs; and illustrates application of the enabling technologies through sample network designs for headquarters, branch offices, and home office/remote users. For enterprises to take advantage of cost-saving, productivity-enhancing solutions, such as IP telephony and Wireless LANs, their core infrastructure must include the key enabling technologies required by these solutions and provide a resilient, secure foundation that can scale to business needs. As with any architecture, designing a solid foundation is the first step. Over the past decade, campus network design has evolved many times as new technologies have emerged and business needs have changed. IP telephony, IP video, and e-learning, allow enterprises to increase productivity. Wireless LANs expand the workplace to allow information and application access beyond an employee's desktop. Meanwhile, Internet worms and viruses are on the rise, increasing the need to find ways to protect networks and data, and to ensure the availability of the network resources. "Campus Network Design Fundamentals" is an all-in-one guide to switched Ethernet design that instructs readers on key LAN infrastructure components. The book provides insight into why each technology is important and how to apply this knowledge to create a campus network that includes as many or as few of today's productivity-enhancing applications as are needed in any given environment. The key topics covered through-out the book include: switching, IP routing, Quality of Service (QoS), security, wireless LANs, voice transport, content networking, network management, IPv6, IP multicast, and storage networking. Diane Teare is a 20-year veteran in the world of networking, training, and e-learning fields. Diane was the course director for the Designing Cisco Networks and Building Scalable Cisco Networks courses at one of the largest Cisco Learning Partners. She has written several Cisco Press titles. Catherine Paquet freelances in the field of internetworking and security. Catherine has in-depth knowledge of security systems, remote-access and routing technology. She is a CCSP, CCNP, and a CCSI with one of Cisco's largest training partner |
