Planning and Implementation

If a design is composed of multiple complex
components:
Implement each component separately; do not
implement everything at once
Incremental implementation:
Reduces troubleshooting in case of failure
Reduces time needed to revert to previous state
in case of failure

Example: Detailed Implementation Plan

Section 6.2.7.3, "Configure routing protocols in the WAN network
module":
Number of routers involved is 50
Use template for section 4.3.1, "EIGRP details."
Per router configuration:
Use passive-interface command on all nonbackbone LANs. (See
section 4.2.3, "EIGRP details.")
Use summarization according to the design. (See section 4.2.3,
"EIGRP details", and section 4.2.2, "Addressing details.")
Estimated time is 10 minutes per router
Rollback procedure is not required
