Objectives • LAN design • LAN switches
LAN Design Goals • Functionality • Scalability • Adaptability • Manageability
LAN Design Considerations • The function and placement of servers • Collision-detection issues • Segmentation issues • Broadcast domain issues
LAN Design Methodology • Gather requirements and expectations • Analyze requirements and data • Design the Layer 1, 2, and 3 LAN structure, or topology • Document the logical and physical network implementation
Use Routers to Impose Logical Structure Routers provide scalability because they serve as firewalls for broadcasts. They can also provide scalability by dividing networks into subnetworks, or subnets, based on Layer 3 addresses.
Access Layer • Functions of the Access Layer: • Shared Bandwidth • Switched Bandwidth • MAC Layer Bandwidth • Microsegmentation
Access Layer Switches • Catalyst 1900 series • Catalyst 2820 series • Catalyst 2950 series • Catalyst 4000 series • Catalyst 5000 series
Distribution Layer • In a switched network, the distribution layer includes several functions such as the following: • Aggregation of the wiring-closet connections • Broadcast/multicast domain definition • VLAN routing • Any media transitions that need to occur • Copper to fiber • Security

Core Layer The core layer is a high-speed switching backbone. The core layer should be designed to switch packets as fast as possible.
