Designing mock networks
Hi guys, Have any of you run into any resources on the internet out there that provide a guide to designing mock networks. Perhaps you can call these network templates. They are predesigned networks created by engineers when given a set of requirements or scenarios. The networks are mock of course and are not designed for… -
Re: Designing mock networks
Devil you make a very good point, but of course instinct tells me there's still stuff out there that assists/guides Network Engineers in network design of many sizes. Pre-set processes/templates just speed up the design and overall business process. It's that simple. The ones who get a thorough network assessment and… -
Re: Designing mock networks
It looks like you're interpreting "template" as strictly network drawings. However I'm very much referring to a process in this case. A standardized process by which to generate a network based on a set of requirements. Of course the process can be supplemented by a sample network design. The sample network design would… -
Re: Designing mock networks
from experience working with a Cisco gold global partner. We did not try to fit our customers to any template. An oil company dealing with keeping all it's oil rigs, refineries and tankers in synch has no resemblance to a financial banks network. I would say the larger the network the less use a template is. Internally to… -

well, I guess google will be hearing my mouse-clicks more often. There is not a whole lot of difference between a pizza restaurant with 25 employes, 3 departments, that requires a network, from a travel agency with 28 employees, 3 deparments that requires a network, plus they want wireless throughout their building. you're… -
Re: Designing mock networks
If there was a one size fits all method of designing networks then we'd all be out of a job. networks are of course hierarchical so if you have 5 or 50 departments and 5 or 5,000 hosts the basic model is the same. You take the best practices you have learnt from the vendors and the experience from previous installations… -
Re: Designing mock networks
No not at all, you miss understand what I am saying. The process to designing a network is to understand what the different levels/technologies in a network are for. There are simply to many variables to construct a matrix, to formalise when for example you should use a collapsed core and when you should have distribution… -
Re: Designing mock networks
ok, where do you find these case studies? As I'm trying to put together a plan to service people in my local area my plan is to first pre-design mock networks/templates that fit various scenarios. If a situation then arises for instance, a business with 5 departments that needs 3 pcs in each department, then I pick the… -
Re: Designing mock networks
There are plenty of case studies around, and thousands of configuration guides. But by the time you start putting ideas together in to a final design you are using real ip addresses and config that no company would want you to share. And when lobbing things up 3 or 4 routers will tell you if a network of several 100 would… -
