Cisco Hierarchical Network Model

The three-layer hierarchical model is used extensively in
network design.
The hierarchical model consists of the:
Access layer
Distribution layer
Core layer
It provides a modular framework that allows design flexibility

and facilitates implementation and troubleshooting.
The hierarchical model is useful for smaller networks, but does not
scale well to todays larger, more complex networks.

Creating an Implementation Plan

An effective, documented implementation plan is a result of
good processes and procedures during network design,
implementation, and performance testing.
There are two approaches to implementing changes to a
network.
Ad-hoc approach
Structured approach
Chapter 1
Cisco Public
10
Ad-hoc Approach
The many tasks such as deploying new equipment,
connectivity, addressing, routing, and security are
implemented and configured as required without planning
any of the tasks.
With such an approach, it is more likely that scalability
issues, suboptimal routing, and security issues can occur.
A good implementation plan is required to avoid such
difficulties.
Chapter 1
Cisco Public
11
Structured Approach
Prior to implementing a change many considerations are
taken into account.
The design and implementation plan are completed, and
may include a new topology, an IP addressing plan, a
solution to scalability issues, a link utilization upgrade,
remote network connectivity, and changes to other network
parameters.
The design and implementation plan must meet both
technical and business requirements.
All details are documented in the implementation plan prior
to the implementation.
After successful implementation, the documentation is updated to
include the tools and resources used, and the implementation results.

Models and Methodologies

There are there are many models and methodologies used
in IT that define a lifecycle approach using various
processes to help provide high quality IT services.
No need to reinvent the wheel.
Examples of these models:

The Cisco Lifecycle Services (PPDIOO) model
IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL)
The Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security
(FCAPS) model
International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
The Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) model

Telecommunications Standardization Sector (ITU-T)

Cisco Lifecycle Services (PPDIOO) Model

The Cisco Lifecycle Services approach defines six phases in the network
lifecycle and is referred to as the PPDIOO model:
Prepare
Plan
Design
Implement
Optimize
Operate
Chapter 1
Cisco Public
14
PPDIOO Prepare, Plan, and Design

The PPDIOO methodology begins with these three basic
steps:
Step 1: Identify customer requirements
Step 2: Characterize the existing network and sites
Step 3: Design the network topology and solutions
Prepare
Plan
Design
Identify
customer
requirements
Characterize
existing
network
Design the
network
Once the design is defined, the implementation plan can be

executed.

PPDIOO Implement, Operate, Optimize

The next three steps include:
Step 4: Plan the implementation:
Step 5: Implement and verify the design:
Step 6: Monitor and optionally redesign:

Operate / Optimize

implementation

Implementation Plan documentation

The implementation plan documentation should include the
following:
Network information
Tools required
Resources required
Implementation plan tasks
Verification tasks
Performance measurement and results
Screen shots and photos, as appropriate
The documentation creation process is not finished until the

end of the project, when the verification information is
added to it.

the people involved and their commitments to the project
Site and equipment location information and details of how
access to the premises is obtained
Tools and resources required
Assumptions made
Tasks to be performed, including detailed descriptions
