CHAPTER 1 Hierarchical Network DesignObjectivesUpon completion of this chapter What are the structured engineering prin-ciples of Network Design ? How do you apply the three Hierarchical net-work layers in Network Design ? What are the four basic modules in an enter-prise campus Network architecture that inter-connect via the core? How do the modules of the cisco Enterprise Architecture model differ? What are some trends that are challenging enterprise Network architectures? How do the Borderless Network , Collaboration Network , and Data Center/Virtualization Network architectures address the Network challenges?Key TermsThis chapter uses the following key terms.

of high-speed network devices such as the Cisco Catalyst 6500 or 6800. These are designed to switch packets as fast as possible and interconnect multiple campus components, such as distribution modules, service modules, the data center, and the WAN edge. As shown in Figure 1-7, the core layer is critical for interconnectivity between distri-
