Designing an optimal Layer 3 for Cisco network service architectures This chapter from 'Authorized Self-Study Guide: Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures, 2nd ed.' examines a select number of topics on both advanced IP addressing and select design issues with Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF). Advanced IP addressing and routing protocol design encompasses a large amount of detail that has already filled a number of books on routing protocols and networking best practices. Learn how to design addressing solutions to support summarization, design routing solutions to support summarization, route filtering, and redistribution, and design scalable EIGRP, OSPF and BGP routing solutions for the enterprise.

Designing basic campus and data center networks This chapter from "Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions (DESGN)" (Authorized CCDA Self-Study Guide) (Exam 640-863), 2nd Edition, introduces general campus switching and data center design considerations. Learn campus design considerations, enterprise campus design and enterprise data center design considerations, and then apply these design foundations to the case study on ACMC Hospital network campus design. Finally, test your knowledge with the review questions at the end of the chapter.

Structuring and modularizing the network -- from 'Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions' To learn a modular, hierarchical approach to network design read this chapter of 'Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions (DESGN), Second Edition.'

Structuring and modularizing the network -- from 'Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions (DESGN) Structuring and modularizing the network, Chapter 3 of "Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions (DESGN), Second Edition" introduces a modular hierarchical approach to network design, the Cisco Enterprise Architecture. Following the discussion of hierarchical network structure and network modularization is a detailed description of services within modular networks, and a discussion of network management protocols and features.
