The enterprise campus network has evolved over the last 20 years to become a key element in this, business computing and communication infrastructure. The interrelated evolution of business and communications technology is not slowing, and the environment is currently undergoing another stage of evolution. The increasing complexity of business and network requirements creates an environment where a fixed model no longer completely describes the set of capabilities and services that constitute the campus network today, Nevertheless, designing a campus network is no different from designing any large, complex system—sueh as a piece of sofiware or even something as sophisticated as the space shuttle, The use of a guiding set of fundamental engineering principles serves to ensure that the campus. design provides for the balance of availability, security, flexibility, and manageability required to meet current and future business and technological needs. This first module will give you the tools to understand how campus networks can bebuil, what models can be used, which practices should be avoided, and which principles should guide youto ensure a successful implementation Module Objectives Upon completing this module, you will be able to analyze campus network desig includes being able to meet these objectives: ns.
