Layer 2 in-building design + lab

0830-1030: In-building Network Design ​ [http://nsrc.org/workshops/2010/kenet-nsrc/raw-attachment/wiki/WorkshopFile/layer2-network-design.ppt PowerPoint

Best practices in Campus Network Design

  • Switch versus Hub versus Router
  • Switching Architectures (star topologies - aggregation switch serves edge switch)
  • Virtual LANs (VLANs)
    • Increases complexity
    • Not necessarily a security mechanism. Don't confuse VLANs with host or data base security
    • Don't build VLAN spaghetti
    • Examples of where we recommend VLANs
    • Technology and practical hints
      • Tagging and untagged
      • Trunking
        • Q in Q

1030-1100: Coffee/Tea? Break

1100-1300: Best Practices continued

  • Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
    • 802.d
    • 802.1w
    • 802.1s
  • Selecting appropriate switches
    • class="lroman"> Must be managed
    • SNMP, SSH, access control techniques
  • Fault Tolerance
    • Port bundling
    • Spanning tree (using loops to your advantage)
  • Network Management
  • Switching and security considerations
    • Rogue DHCP server prevention
      • How does it work
      • Uplink/downlink configuration
    • Dynamic ARP inspection
    • 802.1x/network access control

1300-1400: Lunch

1400-1600: Afternoon Lab ​ [http://nsrc.org/workshops/2010/kenet-nsrc/raw-attachment/wiki/WorkshopFile/intra-building-lab.doc Word ​http://nsrc.org/workshops/2010/kenet-nsrc/raw-attachment/wiki/WorkshopFile/intra-building-lab-appendix.txt 'Reference Sheet'

  • 4-6 groups with 5 or 6 switches per group
  • Build layer 2 network consisting of aggregation switch and edge switches
  • Configure spanning tree across fabric

1600-1630: Coffee/Tea? Break

1630-1800: Afternoon Lab continued
