LAN Design
A network design needs to be functional, scalable, adaptable, and manageable. Designing a network can be
a challenge because it involves much more than just connecting users. A network requires many features in
order to be reliable and available based on the needs of the organization. Understanding the basic design
process and structure of networks will help you to ensure that you are meeting the needs of the network
users.
