networking services and outlines the network design aspects necessary to
design a networking services infrastructure. The module begins by explaining
the basic components of an infrastructure from the designer’s perspective. It
then reviews key networking technologies and how they fit into the
Windows 2000 network architecture. The module ends with an examination of

them both in terms of the overall Windows 2000 network architecture and in
terms of where they will be discussed within the course.

Module Strategy
Use the following strategy to present this module:

Introduction to Networking Services Design
Provide a brief description of a model for designing a networking services
infrastructure.
In this section:
• Point out that this basic design process is useful for designing a network
infrastructure. At a high level, it is the process by which all networks are
designed, implemented, and managed.
• Emphasize that this model is generic in nature. Organizations typically
customize the model to suit their unique situations and design
methodologies. Avoid spending time discussing implementation and
management philosophies.
• Some students may have good methodology skills. Avoid spending too
much time on the details of the methodology and avoid getting into a
discussion about the relative merits of specific methodologies.
• In the subsequent modules, students generate their own designs and
strategies. Acknowledge that solutions may vary by student.

Translating Organizational Goals into a DesignTo develop an effective networking services infrastructure, you must be able to
analyze the organizational goals and translate them into specific design
strategies.
In your networking services design, you must take into account the existing
infrastructure. You will base all of your design decisions on the existing
infrastructure. In addition, your design must be easily managed so that the
organization is able to maintain the infrastructure operation within design
specifications.
At the end of this module, you will be able to:
