Introduction

Sometimes networks simply evolve from something that starts out very small and simple into something much greater in scope and scale. But, other times there are known needs that must be supported, so networks (and the services that they support) are planned in advance to satisfy those needs. In our study of networks we have seen the scope and breadth of the technologies that comprise networks, so we should be ready to put our new knowledge to good use. We should be ready to design a network.

In this topic we will design a network that will support the needs of a small business. This topic will bring together all of the things that we have been studying and learning.

So, let’s have some fun and see what we can do!

Learning Objectives:

- Demonstrate mastery of network skills by designing a SOHO network.
