Description:


Eric Dennington @edennington, Steve Occhiogrosso @StephenO86, and Jason Lavoie @ratvarre join the Packet Pushers to chat about building a new network from scratch. We compiled our notes, and decided on a three phase approach.

Phase 1: Design

  • Understand the organization you re building the network for. You need business requirements.
  • Learn about your facilities. New? Old? What s there already?
  • How will legacy be integrated?
  • How will the design evolve as needs grow & technology changes in coming years?
  • Document the plan. If it s all in your head, you re doing it wrong.
  • Involve others. Don t do it alone. Once again, if it s all in your head, you re doing it wrong.

Phase 2: Build

  • Lab work. Prove your design. Assume nothing.
  • Deploy in stages.
  • Monitor what you ve built.

Phase 3: Operate

  • Test again after production implementation is final.
  • Improve monitoring, especially as unforeseen situations come up.
  • Keep communications open with the business and other teams about performance, issues, etc.
