Campus Backbone Network Bryan Morris Manager, Network Operations & Services
Topology • Previous topologies • FIDDI • ATM (LANE) • SONET
Topology (cont) • Current Topology • Gig E • Core to Distribution = 10 Gig E • Links soon to be 10 Gig E • Aggregate to each distribution soon to be 40 Gig E • Distribution to Access layer = Gig E • SONET • ATM (ISP hand off) • DSL Mega central
Hardware • FIBER • MM fiber • SM fiber (blown and conventional) • Switches & Routers • Homogeneous core advantages • Cisco (emphasis on open standards)
Challenges • SLA – Your everything • Service Level Agreements should be customer based NOT tech “cool” driven. • Money flows with service support philosophy not with trophy building. • Service Identification • What’s on your network? • How critical is it? • fire alarms, security, ID systems, HVAC, temperature alarms on refrigerators, Medical systems, student systems, payroll, research projects, Voice, etc.. • How to best monitor each service. • SLA with service providers • Power • UPS, generator
