Chapter 2. Modular Network Design

This chapter covers the following topics that you need to master for the CCNP BCMSN exam:

• Modular Network Design This section covers the process of designing a campus network, based on breaking it into functional modules. You also learn how to size and scale the modules in a design.

• Evaluating an Existing Network In this section, you learn about evaluating the structure and operation of an existing network, and redesigning the network according to a robust campus network model.

This chapter presents a set of building blocks that can organize and streamline even a large, complex campus network. These building blocks then can be placed using several campus design models to provide maximum efficiency, functionality, and scalability.
