Lay Out the Network

You are now ready to lay out the network and implement your policies. This section guides you through deploying the components of your network access control solution. While it discusses issues such as placing RADIUS servers and grouping resources in VLANs, it does not focus on the physical aspect of network design. In addition, issues such as providing redundancy and mini- mizing congestion—while important—are beyond the scope of this design guide.

Core Resources

Many networks have a core segment, which typically provides a home for central network resources and routing switches.

The network core does not need to bear the sole responsibility for controlling traffic routed between VLANs. ProCurve Networking recommends an Adap- tive EDGE Architecture (AEA), in which centralized policies are enforced at the edge. In other words, instead of configuring static ACLs on routing switches, you configure policies on RADIUS servers (preferably using IDM), and edge switches dynamically apply the correct ACLs to a user’s port.

You’ve already learned how to design those policies in “User Groups and Policies” on page 3-106. Now you just need to establish the VLANs included in your design as you lay out the network.
