Campus LAN Design and Best Practices
LANs can be classified as large-building LANs, campus LANs, or small and remote LANs.
The large-building LAN typically contains a major data center with high-speed access and floor
communications closets; the large-building LAN is usually the headquarters in larger companies.
Campus LANs provide connectivity between buildings on a campus.
Redundancy is usually a requirement in large-building and campus LAN deployments.
Small and remote LANs provide connectivity to remote offices with a relatively small number of
nodes. Campus design factors include the following categories:
Network application characteristics: Different application types
Infrastructure device characteristics: Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, hierarchy
Environmental characteristics: Geography, wiring, distance, space, power, number of nodes
Applications are defined by the business, and the network must be able to support them.
Applications may require high bandwidth or be time sensitive. The infrastructure devices influence
the design. Decisions on switched or routed architectures and port limitations influence the design.
The actual physical distances affect the design. The selection of copper or fiber media may be
influenced by the environmental or distance requirements. The following sections show some
sample LAN types. Table 3-8 summarizes the different application types.
