Switched LAN ArchitectureSwitched LAN Architecture
Chapter 1
 When building a LAN that satisfies the needs of a
small or medium-sized business, your plan is
more likely to be successful if a hierarchical
design model is used.
◦ Divided into discrete layers.
◦ Each layer has a specific purpose.
◦ Becomes modular – maintenance, performance.

Chapter 1
 Interfaces with end devices.
 Routers, switches, bridges, wireless access points.
• Provides a means of connecting and controlling which devices are
allowed to communicate on the network.
Chapter 1
 Aggregates (funnels) Access Layer traffic.
 Controls traffic flow with security or routing policies.
 Defines broadcast domains.
• Routing of VLANs (Virtual LANs).
Chapter 1
 High speed backbone of the network.
 Must be highly available and redundant.
• Must be capable of quickly forwarding large amounts of data.
• Smaller networks – collapsed model (Core and Distribution).

Chapter 1
 Just because a network is hierarchical, it doesn’t
mean it’s well designed.
◦ Network Diameter:
 The number of devices that a packet has to cross before it
reaches its destination.
◦ Bandwidth Aggregation:
 After the bandwidth requirements of the network are known,
links between specific switches can be aggregated or
combined to provide higher bandwidth.
◦ Redundancy:
 The practice of providing multiple paths to a destination or
multiple instances of a device.
Chapter 1
 Network Diameter:
◦ For PC1 to
communicate
with PC3, the
data must
traverse 6
intermediate
switches.
◦ In this case, the network diameter is 6.
◦ Each switch introduces some latency.
◦ In a hierarchical network, network diameter is always
going to be a predictable number of hops between the
source and destination devices.
Chapter 1
 Bandwidth
Aggregation:
◦ Link
aggregation
allows multiple
switch port
links to be
combined so
as to achieve higher throughput between switches.
◦ The determining factor is using link aggregation is the
requirements of the user applications.
Chapter 1
 Redundancy:
◦ Redundancy is
one part of
creating a
highly available
network.
◦ Multiple links
between
switches or multiple devices.
◦ It can get expensive and most likely will not be done on the
access layer because of the cost and variety of devices.
◦ It is feasible at the distribution and core layers.
Chapter 1
 A Converged Network is one where voice and
video communications have been combined on a
single data network.

Chapter 1
 Traffic Flow Analysis:
◦ The process of
measuring the
bandwidth usage
on a network and
analyzing the data.
 Performance tuning.
 Capacity planning.
 Hardware improvement decisions.
Chapter 1
 User Community Analysis:
◦ The process of identifying various groupings of users and
their impact on network performance.
Chapter 1
 Data Stores and Data Servers Analysis:
◦ When analyzing traffic on a network, consider the
location of the data stores and data servers.
◦ Consider both client-server and server-server traffic.
Chapter 1
 Topology Diagram:
◦ A graphical representation of a network infrastructure.
 Switch connections with port numbers.
 Aggregated ports and redundant paths.
 Identify configuration by switch name.
 Could contain user information.
Chapter 1
 Switch Form Factors:
◦ When selecting a switch, you need to decide between
 Fixed configuration or modular configuration.
 Stackable or non-stackable.
◦ The switch form factor (physical size) is important
depending upon where the switch will be installed.
 Wiring closet with limited space.
 Computer room with free standing racks.
 Shelf in a central area.
Chapter 1
 Fixed Configuration Switches:
◦ Fixed in their configuration.
◦ You cannot add features or options to the switch beyond
those that originally came with the switch.
Chapter 1
 Modular Switches:
◦ Offer more flexibility.
◦ Typically come with different sized chassis that allow for
the installation of different numbers of modular line
cards.
◦ The line cards actually contain the ports.
Chapter 1
 Stackable Switches:
◦ Interconnected using a special backplane cable that
provides high-bandwidth throughput between the
switches (Cisco StackWise).
◦ The stacked switches effectively operate as a single,
larger switch.
◦ Desirable when fault tolerance and bandwidth availability
are critical and a modular switch is too costly to
implement.
Chapter 1
 When selecting a switch for the access,
distribution, or core layer, consider the ability of
the switch to support:
◦ Port Density.
◦ Forwarding Rate.
◦ Bandwidth Aggregation Requirements.
Chapter 1
 Port Density:
◦ Port density is the number of ports available on a single
switch.
24 Port24 Port
48 Port48 Port
Very high density.Very high density.
Catalyst 6500 - 1,000 PortsCatalyst 6500 - 1,000 Ports
Chapter 1
 Forwarding Rate:
◦ Defines the processing capabilities of a switch by rating
how much data the switch can process per second.
◦ If the switch forwarding rate is too low, it cannot
accommodate full wire-speed communication across all
of its switch ports.
 A 48 port Gigabit switch is capable of switching 48 Gigabits of
traffic.
Chapter 1
 Forwarding Rate:
◦ Access layer switches typically do not need to operate at
full wire speed because they are physically limited by
their uplinks to the distribution layer.
◦ Allows the use of:
 Less expensive, lower performing switches at the access
layer.
 More expensive, higher performing switches at the
distribution and core layers, where the forwarding rate
makes a bigger difference.
Chapter 1
 Link Aggregation:
◦ As part of bandwidth aggregation, you should determine
if there are enough ports on a switch to aggregate to
support the required bandwidth.
Chapter 1
 Power over Ethernet (PoE):
◦ Allows the switch to deliver power to a device over the
existing Ethernet cabling.
Adds considerable cost to the switch.Adds considerable cost to the switch.
Chapter 1
 Layer 3 Functionality:
◦ Switches typically operate at Layer 2 of the OSI Model.

line offers different characteristics and features,
allowing you to find the right switch to meet the
functional requirements of your network.
 The Cisco switch product lines are:
◦ Catalyst Express 500
◦ Catalyst 2960
◦ Catalyst 3560
◦ Catalyst 3750
◦ Catalyst 4500

Chapter 1 How to Design a LAN

  • 2. Chapter 1 Switched LAN ArchitectureSwitched LAN Architecture
  • 3. Chapter 1  When building a LAN that satisfies the needs of a small or medium-sized business, your plan is more likely to be successful if a hierarchical design model is used. ◦ Divided into discrete layers. ◦ Each layer has a specific purpose. ◦ Becomes modular – maintenance, performance.
  • 5. Chapter 1  Interfaces with end devices.  Routers, switches, bridges, wireless access points. • Provides a means of connecting and controlling which devices are allowed to communicate on the network.
  • 6. Chapter 1  Aggregates (funnels) Access Layer traffic.  Controls traffic flow with security or routing policies.  Defines broadcast domains. • Routing of VLANs (Virtual LANs).
  • 7. Chapter 1  High speed backbone of the network.  Must be highly available and redundant. • Must be capable of quickly forwarding large amounts of data. • Smaller networks – collapsed model (Core and Distribution).

  • 16. Chapter 1  Just because a network is hierarchical, it doesn’t mean it’s well designed. ◦ Network Diameter:  The number of devices that a packet has to cross before it reaches its destination. ◦ Bandwidth Aggregation:  After the bandwidth requirements of the network are known, links between specific switches can be aggregated or combined to provide higher bandwidth. ◦ Redundancy:  The practice of providing multiple paths to a destination or multiple instances of a device.
  • 17. Chapter 1  Network Diameter: ◦ For PC1 to communicate with PC3, the data must traverse 6 intermediate switches. ◦ In this case, the network diameter is 6. ◦ Each switch introduces some latency. ◦ In a hierarchical network, network diameter is always going to be a predictable number of hops between the source and destination devices.
  • 18. Chapter 1  Bandwidth Aggregation: ◦ Link aggregation allows multiple switch port links to be combined so as to achieve higher throughput between switches. ◦ The determining factor is using link aggregation is the requirements of the user applications.
  • 19. Chapter 1  Redundancy: ◦ Redundancy is one part of creating a highly available network. ◦ Multiple links between switches or multiple devices. ◦ It can get expensive and most likely will not be done on the access layer because of the cost and variety of devices. ◦ It is feasible at the distribution and core layers.
  • 20. Chapter 1  A Converged Network is one where voice and video communications have been combined on a single data network.

  • 22. Chapter 1  Traffic Flow Analysis: ◦ The process of measuring the bandwidth usage on a network and analyzing the data.  Performance tuning.  Capacity planning.  Hardware improvement decisions.
  • 23. Chapter 1  User Community Analysis: ◦ The process of identifying various groupings of users and their impact on network performance.
  • 24. Chapter 1  Data Stores and Data Servers Analysis: ◦ When analyzing traffic on a network, consider the location of the data stores and data servers. ◦ Consider both client-server and server-server traffic.
  • 25. Chapter 1  Topology Diagram: ◦ A graphical representation of a network infrastructure.  Switch connections with port numbers.  Aggregated ports and redundant paths.  Identify configuration by switch name.  Could contain user information.
  • 26. Chapter 1  Switch Form Factors: ◦ When selecting a switch, you need to decide between  Fixed configuration or modular configuration.  Stackable or non-stackable. ◦ The switch form factor (physical size) is important depending upon where the switch will be installed.  Wiring closet with limited space.  Computer room with free standing racks.  Shelf in a central area.
  • 27. Chapter 1  Fixed Configuration Switches: ◦ Fixed in their configuration. ◦ You cannot add features or options to the switch beyond those that originally came with the switch.
  • 28. Chapter 1  Modular Switches: ◦ Offer more flexibility. ◦ Typically come with different sized chassis that allow for the installation of different numbers of modular line cards. ◦ The line cards actually contain the ports.
  • 29. Chapter 1  Stackable Switches: ◦ Interconnected using a special backplane cable that provides high-bandwidth throughput between the switches (Cisco StackWise). ◦ The stacked switches effectively operate as a single, larger switch. ◦ Desirable when fault tolerance and bandwidth availability are critical and a modular switch is too costly to implement.
  • 30. Chapter 1  When selecting a switch for the access, distribution, or core layer, consider the ability of the switch to support: ◦ Port Density. ◦ Forwarding Rate. ◦ Bandwidth Aggregation Requirements.
  • 31. Chapter 1  Port Density: ◦ Port density is the number of ports available on a single switch. 24 Port24 Port 48 Port48 Port Very high density.Very high density. Catalyst 6500 - 1,000 PortsCatalyst 6500 - 1,000 Ports
  • 32. Chapter 1  Forwarding Rate: ◦ Defines the processing capabilities of a switch by rating how much data the switch can process per second. ◦ If the switch forwarding rate is too low, it cannot accommodate full wire-speed communication across all of its switch ports.  A 48 port Gigabit switch is capable of switching 48 Gigabits of traffic.
  • 33. Chapter 1  Forwarding Rate: ◦ Access layer switches typically do not need to operate at full wire speed because they are physically limited by their uplinks to the distribution layer. ◦ Allows the use of:  Less expensive, lower performing switches at the access layer.  More expensive, higher performing switches at the distribution and core layers, where the forwarding rate makes a bigger difference.
  • 34. Chapter 1  Link Aggregation: ◦ As part of bandwidth aggregation, you should determine if there are enough ports on a switch to aggregate to support the required bandwidth.
  • 35. Chapter 1  Power over Ethernet (PoE): ◦ Allows the switch to deliver power to a device over the existing Ethernet cabling. Adds considerable cost to the switch.Adds considerable cost to the switch.
  • 36. Chapter 1  Layer 3 Functionality: ◦ Switches typically operate at Layer 2 of the OSI Model.
