NETW 207 Lab – Selecting Switching Hardware

Objectives

Part 1: Explore Cisco Switch Products

Part 2: Select an Access Layer Switch

Part 3: Select a Distribution/Core Layer Switch

Background / Scenario

As a Network Engineer, you are part of a team that selects appropriate devices for your network. You need to consider the network requirements for the company as they migrate to a converged network. This converged network supports voice over IP (VoIP), video streaming, and expansion of the company to support a larger customer base.

For a small- to medium-sized company, Cisco hierarchical network design suggests only using a two-tier LAN design. This design consists of an access layer and a collapsed core/distribution layer. Network switches come in different form factors, and with various features and functions. When selecting a switch, the team must choose between fixed configuration or modular configuration, and stackable or non-stackable switches.

Based on a given set of requirements, you will identify the Cisco switch models and features to support the requirements. The scope of this lab will limit the switch models to campus LAN only.
