What is a basic network layout?
This article is a little different from the others. As I plan to start going down the path of slightly more involved products (like fibre pre-term, FOBOTs, campus distribution, IP telephony, wireless, etc.), I thought it would be relevant to take time out to prepare a map.
These maps are made up of a simple data network that gives you an insight into how these products physically fit into the grand scheme. What I want you to take from this article is simply an awareness - giving you a complete overview we can breakdown in the coming posts.
I also understand there are a million and one ways to set up a network, and this is only one of them. You or your customers may have experiences where products are left out or added to what I have put together. Keep in mind this map is just a reference.
The following pictures will show three areas of a basic set up.
