3.1 DESIGNING NETWORK
🞆 Designing a network from the ground up is more the
exception than the rule
🞆 Even in an evolving network, using planning to formulate a
long-tem plan to renovate the network makes sense 🞆
Network design is an interactive process.
3.1.1 ACCESSING NETWORK NEEDS
🞆 The importance of good job is in accessing the need that a network
must meet cannot be overstated
🞆 Before worrying about what network topology to use, what NOS
 platform to use, how top structure your hubs, bridges, routers, and
what grade of wiring to install, you must know what the network
needs to accomplish
3.1.1 APPLICATIONS:
🞆 Tostart a network design we need to list out and understand
applications that will run on network.
🞆 Most common applications are…

⚫ Word processor
⚫ Spreadsheet
⚫ End user database
⚫ E-mail
⚫ Personal information manager
⚫ Virus scanning software
3.1.1 USERS
🞆 Once we decide applications, we can estimate how many users
need to be supported and which applications each user will run. 🞆
Factors to know about users…
⚫ Bandwidth requirements
⚫ Storage requirements
⚫ Service requirements
3.1.1 NETWORK SERVICE 🞆 In on one or more computers and
computer networking, a network accessed via a network by client
service is an application running components running on other
at the application layer and devices
above, that provides data storage, Network services include:
manipulation, presentation, oDirectory services
communication or other oe-Mail
capability. oFile sharing
🞆 Each service is usually provided oInstant messaging
by a server component running oOnline game
 oPrinting oWorld Wide Web
oFile server oSimple Network Management
oVoice over IP Protocol
oVideo on demand oTime service
oVideo telephony oWireless sensor network
3.1.1 SECURITY AND SAFETY
🞆 It concerns company’s need to keep information secure both inside
and outside the organization.
🞆 Security and safety considerations trade-off between cost and
effectiveness exist.
3.1.1 GROWTH AND CAPACITY PLANNING
🞆 Network designed for rapidly growing company is different from
slowly growing company.
🞆 If you design network for rapidly growing company then it should
be quickly and easily expandable
🞆 If you design network for slowly growing company then it can be of
 simple network design.
3.1.2 MEETING NETWORK NEEDS
🞆 The process of determining the network need is not worked
through by following steps
🞆 Instead you should start by mapping answers to questions bellow:

1. Choosing network type

2. Choosing network structure

3. Choosing servers
