This chapter has defined scalability and
provided examples of Cisco IOS features that enable you to grow your
network successfully. You learned, for example, that knowing where
the router is located in the hierarchy and what the key needs are
for a given layer make it easier for you to configure the router to
meet the specific needs of the layer.
Recall that the key characteristics of a scalable network are
reliability and availability, responsiveness, efficiency,
adaptability, and being accessible but secure. You will see these
same concepts discussed again and again as you make your way through
this semester.
