Cisco Systems has developed a blueprint for designing networks around the
demanding needs of the user communities of today, and the vastly improved
infrastructure technologies that exist to meet those needs in a modern network.
This blueprint, called the Enterprise Composite Network model, is a modular,
hierarchical approach to network design. The Enterprise Composite Network model
assists designers and engineers in developing and maintaining networks based on
the functional, logical, and physical components, thereby reducing
complexity.
This module examines the shortcomings of networks that had no
clear hierarchy or design plan to accommodate the growth of an organization and
points out that by simply implementing current modern technologies into a
poorly designed network will not solve problems. It also addresses the benefits
of a modular, scalable network model and identifies how various networking
technologies are deployed within the Campus Infrastructure module of the
Enterprise Composite Model.

NOTE:
It is required that the student study the commands covered in the
module using the labs and the Command Reference. Not all required commands are
covered in sufficient detail in the text alone. Successful completion of this
course requires a thorough knowledge of command syntax and application.
