Network Design
Physical and logical network design involves understanding their distinct aspects:
Physical Network Design:
Hardware Components: Physical network design deals with the physical components of a network infrastructure. This includes routers, switches, cables, servers, and other networking devices. These components are the actual physical entities that comprise the network.
Topology: Physical network design involves determining the physical layout or topology of the network. IEC engineers the placement and connection of devices, the arrangement of cables, and the location of networking equipment within a physical space.
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:
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. IEC assigns logical identifiers to network devices and resources for communication purposes.
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. It defines how data packets are routed and switched across the network.
Security and Access Control: Logical network design encompasses security policies, authentication mechanisms, encryption protocols, and access control lists (ACLs) . Securing your network means ensuring data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. It defines logical boundaries and permissions for accessing network resources.
Physical and Logical Network design are essential for designing a robust and efficient network infrastructure. Physical network design pertains to the tangible infrastructure and layout of the network. This includes hardware components and topology. Logical network design focuses on the logical structure, addressing, routing, and security aspects that govern data transfer.
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. Routers use factors such as network topology, traffic load, and routing protocols when routing traffic. 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 physical devices that connect multiple devices within a local area network (LAN). Switches use MAC addresses to forward packets to the appropriate destination devices. They 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. APs 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.
