Logical vs. Physical Network Design The typical Top-Down approach to network design uses a systematic method to plan‚ design‚ and implement a new network. Generally‚ the Top-Down methodology involves analysis of the business requirements and goals‚ development of the logical design based on such goals‚ development of the physical design‚ and a phase for testing‚ optimizing‚ and documenting the network design. This paper focuses on the activities performed to create a logical design of a network

Logical vs. Physical Design of a Network In the world of network design‚ there are two common design types; the logical network design and the physical network design. A logical network design can be described as how the network will be structured‚ basically all logical aspects of the network. According to Webopedia‚ "the logical topology is the way that the signals act on the network media‚ or the way that the data passes through the network from one device to the next without regard to the

Physical vs. Logical Network Design Bob Jones NTC 410 Fernando Casafranca April 11‚ 2006 How is your network designed? This is a simple question. But‚ like many things in the information technology field‚ not a question with a simple answer. The definition of network design to a customer or user can be completely different than to an information technology professional. Even inside of the information technology field‚ there are several definitions of network design. We use the words Logical

CONVERGENCE OF LOGICAL AND PHYSICAL SECURITY SYSTEMS INTRODUCTION Up to now‚ majority of organizations have their physical and logical access systems operating as independent structures‚ with each being run by a totally separate department. The information technology security system‚ which controls access to information technology infrastructure including mail servers‚ the internet‚ database applications and web servers was managed by the department of information technology. The physical security system

categories: Physical modeling and Logical modeling. Logical modeling deals with gathering business requirements and converting those requirements into a model. The logical model revolves around the needs of the business‚ not the network‚ although the needs of the business are used to establish the needs of the network. Logical modeling involves gathering information about business processes‚ categories of data‚ and organizational units. After this information is gathered‚ diagrams and reports

The Physical Data Model (PDM) describes how the information represented in the Logical Data Model is actually implemented‚ how the information-exchange requirements are implemented‚ and how the data entities and their relationships are maintained. There should be a mapping from a given Logical Data Model to the Physical Data Model if both models are used. The form of the Physical Data Model can vary greatly‚ as shown in Figure 31. For some purposes‚ an additional entity-relationship style diagram

Logical and Physical Network Design Logical and Physical Network Design Network design is a process that begins from the first thought on how to connect to computers together in order for them to communicate and pass needed data to each other. The process may seem simple on this level and may require little consideration‚ but in fact‚ there are many areas of the network that need to be examined before the process of networking should be undertaken. For the small network‚ these considerations

Logical and Physical Design of a Network NTC410 Why is it useful to use both a physical and a logical network design? A physical layout of the network shows the physical location of and the connections between devices participating on the network. In such diagrams‚ workstations are usually represented with small computer icons‚ servers with full tower cases‚ and switches. The Logical Design is the IP structure of your network depending on the services that will be provided to clients

Logical and Physical Network Designs Logical and Physical Network Designs Network planning and design is an extremely important process which must be performed before the establishment of a new telecommunications network. The purpose of network planning and design is to ensure that the new network meets the necessary requirements of the system. The network planning process includes forecasting how the network will operate‚ the economic information concerning costs‚ and the technical details
