 Network Design Fundamentals teaches an effective methodology
for network planning and design using relevant new technologies.
This reference guide explains principles, methodologies and
technologies using network design case studies. The structured
design methodology teaches all phases of a networking project.
The planning and design methodology presented is used to teach
effective network planning, design and implementation skills. In
the case study of a fictitious financial services company, real world
issues and strategies are discussed. Using the network design
methodology, readers learn how to review client requirements,
assess the network, build the infrastructure, recommend appropriate security and develop a network management strategy. Readers will learn to develop a proof of concept plan, make any modifications and write a design proposal. In addition, there is a discussion of how to implement the design with a proven implementation strategy. • Network Planning and Design Fundamentals • Network Assessment Essentials • Design and Performance Considerations • Campus/WAN Design Best Practices • Detailed Protocol Selection Guide • Network Resiliency and High Availability • VPN, Voice over Frame Relay E-Commerce • Tech Notes Explain Network Concepts • Security and Network Management Strategies • Chapter Quizzes
 Cisco Wireless Network Design Guide teaches an effective methodology for wireless network planning and design. It is a
reference guide that efficiently explains wireless principles,
methodologies and technologies while serving as a practical design
guide as well. That is accomplished using a real-world wireless
case study as the framework along with a structured design
methodology that teaches all phases of a wireless design project.
The case study is of a fictitious financial services company
that is implementing wireless at all their offices around the
country. The standard methodology for network design presented is
used as a framework for planning, designing and implementing the wireless design. In the case study of the fictitious financial company, real-world issues and strategies are addressed. Using the structured methodology, readers learn to review client requirements, assess the current network, build the wireless infrastructure, recommend appropriate security and develop a management strategy. Readers will learn to develop a proof of concept strategy, make any modifications, and build a design proposal. Then the design is reviewed with the client to discuss how to implement the design using a structured implementation methodology. • Wireless Network Planning and Design • Network Assessment Essentials • Design and Performance Considerations • Detailed Access Point Selection Guide • Wireless Network Survey • Tech Notes Explain Wireless Concepts • Security and Network Management Strategies • Chapter Quizzes
 Network Assessment Guide teaches an effective methodology for assessing your enterprise network before implementing new
technologies. It is a reference guide that uses a real world
assessment of an East Coast Financial Services company. The
company is considering an acquisition and wants some snapshot
information of their current network. This is accomplished using the
network assessment case study as the framework along with a
structured methodology that teaches all phases of a network
assessment. The book explains the methodology with each specific
network assessment and some strategies for improving your current
infrastructure, performance, availability, management and security. The concepts described can be used with small, medium and enterprise companies. An excellent design tool for network engineers. Infrastructure Assessment • Performance Assessment • Availability Assessment • Management Assessment • Security Assessment • Analysis and Recommendations • Network Assessment Forms
 Cisco Wireless Network Survey teaches an effective methodology
for Cisco wireless site surveys using a real-world site survey of a
financial services company that is implementing wireless services
at offices around the country. Specific wireless technical concepts
are discussed and a wireless equipment selection guide that helps
with selecting Cisco access points.
