Engineer Briefing
Before engineers configure devices, they design the solution.
A professional network is not created by randomly connecting routers and switches.
Engineers first understand:
- Business requirements.
- Number of users.
- Applications.
- Security needs.
- Future growth.
The design phase determines whether the final network will succeed or fail.
Mission Objectives
By the end of this mission, students should understand:
- How to gather network requirements.
- How to design an enterprise architecture.
- How to plan IP addressing.
- How to design VLANs.
- How to include security and scalability.
