About Network Design and Infrastructure

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

This unit collects material on how networks are planned and built. The quizzes ask about design principles, such as the structured engineering principles needed for a successful network design, and the first thing to consider when starting a design. Others look at enterprise equipment, failure domains and network audits. The mind maps go through layering, hierarchical design, switching, wired and wireless links, and peer-to-peer models.

Where to start

If you are new to design, begin with the quiz Network Design and the mind map Three-layer Hierarchical Design Model. Then open Cisco Enterprise Architecture and Enterprise Campus Network Design to see how the layers fit into a larger plan.

For exam preparation, these are useful next steps:

  • CCNA 3 Chapter 1 for questions on enterprise equipment and up-time.
  • CCDA EXAM PRACTICE for design-focused questions.
  • The mind maps on strategic network design and modular network design for the CCDA 200-310 exam.

Using quizzes and maps together

Take a quiz first without looking anything up. Note which questions you missed, such as those on segmentation, routing or switching. Then open a matching mind map. U1. Services and Layering Principles explains how each layer provides a service to the layer above it. P2P Models sets out the centralized directory, flooded request and document routing approaches. Retake the quiz after reading and see what changed.

Flashcard decks suit short sessions. SD-WAN Architecture Basics and Hardware and Redundancy are small decks you can go through quickly. A few resources are in other languages, such as the German deck KommNetze, which covers protocols and the structure of the Internet.

Where this unit sits

This unit belongs to the strand Network Design, Security and Administration, within the subject Networks and telecommunications. It focuses on the design and infrastructure side of that strand.

Frequently asked questions

Which quiz should I try first?

Start with the quiz called Network Design for a broad check, then move to CCNA 3 Chapter 1 or CCDA EXAM PRACTICE depending on your exam. The ccna exam 1 quiz is also a good early choice, since it opens with questions on design principles and what to consider first.

What do the mind maps on this page cover?

The mind maps cover layering principles, the three-layer hierarchical design model, enterprise campus design, switched networks, Ethernet standards, wireless links and peer-to-peer models. There are also maps for the CCDA 200-310 exam on strategic and modular network design, plus a few on installation documentation.

Are these resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so style and depth vary from one resource to the next. Check a few to find those that suit you.

Which exams do these resources suit?

Several resources mention CCNA, including quizzes across different chapters, and the mind maps for CCDA 200-310. Others are general network design material that suits university courses. Teachers can use the quizzes as ready-made questions for a class.

What if I cannot find the topic I need?

Try nearby titles first. Topics like switching, routing or wireless often appear under different names, such as Switched Networks or Network Connectivity. If nothing fits, you can build your own quiz, mind map, flashcards or notes with a free account, which also saves your quiz scores.
