Learn classic top-down computer network design with the second edition
of the best-selling Cisco Press design book
- Learn to use the top-down network design method to build resilient,
manageable networks
- Gain an understanding of industry-standard design models and practices
- Incorporate new technologies into enterprise network designs, including
new coverage of VPNs, wireless networking, and IP Telephony
The mission of Top-Down Network Design, Second Edition, is to teach
a practical methodology for designing enterprise networks that are reliable,
secure, and manageable. Like the popular first edition, published by Cisco
Press in 1998, this book teaches a network design methodology that is based
on structured systems analysis techniques that revolutionized software development
projects back in the 1970s and 1980s, now updated to reflect new priorities
and technologies.
The book begins by describing the design methodology, as it has been adapted
to fit modern network design, with the topics being taught in the order
that design tasks should be accomplished. Case studies and examples are
included to help the reader understand how to successfully complete a design
project that fulfills a customer's requirements. Changes in the business
world have resulted in technological adjustments to typical enterprise networks.
The author emphasizes design with the following four business needs in mind
that are top-priority requirements for network designs: security, resilience,
project prioritization based on business goals, and support for mobile users.
