Recently i was task to do a project on the designing of a campus lan of a building. Although i had just completed my CCNP. But this is not enough for me to design and implement a enterprise network. Hence i am seeking any suggesstion that is able to help me in my project.
The requirement is as follows
a. To plan and design a Campus LAN for users incorporating their corporate computing and scientific computing requirements.
b.deployment of Vlan and firewall and ids is required
c.it is a 9 storey bulding (let say over total network points in term of thousands)
d. collasped and distributed backbone mus be put in consideration
e. this building in turn will connect to a another main building for routing
f. lastest and best technology have to be put in consideration usin gigaethernet as bandwidth and speed is very critical in the building for transfer between bulidings.
g. policy at the distribution layer have to be put in consideration
Questions
1) which series of layer 2 switches access layer is best suited to such network as it is a enterprise network project
2)which series layer 3 switch is best for distribution layer
3)any suggestion in designing the overall lan network topology in this building?
4)any suggestion in turn of security and redundacy as well as technologies to use for the very best bandwidth, convergence and speed?
regards.
