Planning the Network
This chapter describes the basics of planning a network and identifies some of the resources available to
the network planner using Cisco MGM:
• 3.1 Network Planning
• 3.2 What Network Elements Are Available to a Network Planner?
3.1 Network Planning
Network planning is the process of deciding the topology and capacity of a network. Network planning
can achieve the business return on investment (ROI) by enabling high-performance networks and
communications applications.
It is important to take the time to review and plan your network before you build and configure it. During
network planning, remember to keep future needs in mind as well as present requirements, so that the
topology and capacity of the networks can be changed, if required.
Adequate network planning is needed for a number of reasons, including to:
• Satisfy key business drivers such as low operating costs or rapid return on investment
• Respond to network growth and traffic distribution changes in the future
• Identify and satisfy the needs of customers
• Anticipate and provide protection in the event of a catastrophe
• Centralize management, resulting in lower administration costs
• Support many and varied company requirements quickly and efficiently
• Identify hardware requirements
The key stages are planning, analyzing, and reviewing a network. Network planning may be required for
a new network, or you may be analyzing an existing network before upgrading the existing
infrastructure.
