Network design

Topologies

The network topology most commonly recommended consists of a redundant core with building blocks of layered routers and switches as shown in the figure below. This is the defacto standard for network design supporting both modularity and reuse.

Of course, real networks are far more complex with many more nodes and services. In addition, real deployments typically have legacy constraints, multiple sites, and heterogeneous equipment. It is beyond the scope of this document to detail solutions for the potential configurations of entire networks. To address those issues, Avaya provides a full range of service offers from assessment to outsourced management. Please visit the Avaya web site for further information regarding these services.

Server Cluster

A review of the server cluster configuration as applied to a set of G650 IP-connected port networks will serve to illustrate the principles discussed and validate the modular topology.
