Ask the Expert- Introduction to Network Design

[Cisco Moderador]

This topic is a chance to discuss more about the best network design practices. The session covers network design, its roots and principles, and the mindset needed to be a successful designer and a holistic network architect. When it comes to network design, a solution is considered successful if it meets business requirements through technology implementation. Network designers are the bridge between technical and business domains. In this role, they must understand the business goals and be able to translate them into requirements that drive the technical implementation.

Hello

I do believe this is a product question instead of a design questions. Please post it in the according community for it.

Thanks

Hey David-

How would you design an Enterprise network with application segmentation end-to-end? 1000 foot level since there are no specifics here. Thanks!

[David Samuel Penaloza Seijas]

Hello

I would start by thinking about how the segmentation will happen:will it be done through the application or the network?

If the network is our key player in segmentation, then addressing and VLAN planning should be in your list of things to consider. Where to place X and Y users? Which VLANs to use? Which IP range? will it be IPv4 or IPv6? dual stack?

In addition to that, consider how the app will interact with the rest of the network: Where the app will be sitting? On premises? externally (cloud)? what will be the traffic patter? north-south? east-west? encryption and security are a must?

Hope it helps!

Network design refers to the planning of the implementation of a computer network infrastructure. Network design is generally performed by network designers, engineers, IT administrators and other related staff. It is done before the implementation of a network infrastructure.

We have a new network setup as the attached diagram, and we want to use Cisco firewall and Cisco switch in this design,

Please can you suggest the recommended and best L3 switch and Cisco Firewall with required configuration on L3 switch to be done to use for this design?

Any amendment if required or if any other suggestion is also most welcome.
