All IT networks need to meet the needs of their company to maximize efficiency.

Therefore,

designing an appropriate IT network requires a thorough consideration of various factors to

ensure that both work best under high volume and maintain secure communication. Achieving

these goals requires understanding what you want in an IT network and considering the key

components when designing it. While each network will match its business details, the essentials

are the same. Here are some of the key things to consider when creating an IT network.

First, you should understand your network goals. Before proceeding with network construction,

it is important to find out what your goal is to find the right components and resources. Will it

implement the BYOD strategy and remote locations? What types of information will be stored in

network segments? Considering these factors will help prevent future confusion. Creating a

budget and earning shares. IT costs can grow rapidly if not managed properly. Training your

staff on newly established policies is another important factor in determining how successful an

IT network business is.

Logical network configuration refers to how work environments, servers, and other resources are

related to traffic flow. There are three main LAN topologies: line bus, ring, and star. The

appropriate visual and logical topology of the LAN is determined by the reliability and cost

objectives and the connection requirements of the users.

In a linear bus topology, channels are arranged with a single cable length, which can be extended

at either end or both ends to accommodate additional nodes. In a ring topology, nodes are

arranged near the transmission path so that the data passes through each successive channel

before returning to its original location. In this case, ring topology will be necessary because the

data flows in one direction which reduces the chance of a packet collision. In this topology, some
operating channels can be added in the background without affecting network performance.

There is no need for a server to control the communication between nodes in the topology.
