Network Design

Differentiating between physical and logical network design involves understanding their distinct aspects:

Physical Network Design:

  1. Hardware Components: Physical network design deals with the tangible, physical components of a network infrastructure, such as routers, switches, cables, servers, and other networking devices. These components are the actual physical entities that comprise the network.

  2. Topology: Physical network design involves determining the physical layout or topology of the network, including the placement and connection of devices, the arrangement of cables, and the location of networking equipment within a physical space.

  3. Bandwidth and Performance: Physical network design considers factors related to bandwidth allocation, data transmission rates, and network performance. It focuses on optimizing hardware resources to ensure efficient data transfer and minimize latency.

Logical Network Design:

  1. Addressing and Naming: Logical network design focuses on the logical structure and organization of the network, including IP addressing schemes, domain names, and network addressing protocols. It deals with assigning logical identifiers to network devices and resources for communication purposes.

  2. Routing and Switching: Logical network design involves configuring routing protocols, subnetting, VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), and other logical constructs to facilitate data transfer and communication between devices within the network. It defines how data packets are routed and switched across the network.

  3. Security and Access Control: Logical network design encompasses security policies, authentication mechanisms, encryption protocols, and access control lists (ACLs) to ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. It defines logical boundaries and permissions for accessing network resources.

In summary, physical network design pertains to the tangible infrastructure and layout of the network, including hardware components and topology, while logical network design focuses on the logical structure, addressing, routing, and security aspects that govern communication and data transfer within the network. Both aspects are essential for designing a robust and efficient network infrastructure.

Routing, Switching, and access points

  • Routing: Routing is the process of directing network traffic between different networks or subnetworks. Routers are devices that make decisions about the best path for data packets to reach their destination based on factors such as network topology, traffic load, and routing protocols. They facilitate communication between devices on different networks by forwarding packets between them.

  • Switching: Switching involves the forwarding of data packets within a single network. Switches are devices that connect multiple devices within a local area network (LAN) and use MAC addresses to forward packets to the appropriate destination device. They operate at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model and enable efficient and high-speed communication between devices within the same network segment.

  • Access Points: Access points (APs) are devices used to provide wireless connectivity to devices within a network. They serve as the central point for wireless communication and allow devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets to connect to the network without the need for physical cables. Access points are typically connected to a wired network and facilitate wireless communication by transmitting and receiving data between wireless devices and the wired network.
