You know the model; a hierarchical one with access switches aggregating to a distribution layer, which then aggregates to a fast core switching layer.

Network Documentation Series: Logical Diagram
In this article, I will do a walk-through of a logical network diagram. As I also said in the Physical Diagram article: I prefer to use the term “logical” instead of “L3″ because it is more easily understood by somebody unfamiliar with the OSI model.

Managed power supplies and how to automate your branch network
One of the worst parts of the day has to be calling AT&T or Comcast to request a dispatch to a branch office or to check up on a problem internet circuit. Yelling out “Technical Support” to try and get past the prompts. The first question I get asked every time, “Did you reboot the modem?”. […]
