components needed to
make a network function and
provide the services and
resources an organization
needs?

NEEDS

What is the Needs Assessment phase?

Needs Assessment is the first

phase or process in preparing for
LAN design.
During the needs assessment,
interviews, research and other
information are collected.

Focus in LAN design

How the existing network is used
What the companys future plans
In terms of growth and computer usage

What difficulty users have

experienced in the past

______

DESIGN

What is the Design phase in LAN design?

Design is the second phase or

process in preparing for LAN
design.
The process of designing the
network begins.

The Network Engineer has the task

Create a design that:

remedies network problems
Allows for growth
Accommodates current and
future network technologies

DEVELOPMENT

What is the Development phase in LAN

design?

Company staff needs to give

input into the design

The design goes through a

review process.

Job of Network Engineer

1. Take the feedback
2. Take also the error reports

3. Adapt the design appropriately

IMPLEMENTATION

What is the Implementation phase in LAN

design?

Now that the design has been

developed and approved

It is time to install

network

TESTING

What is the Testing phase in LAN design?

This phase is also called as the

testing and evaluation phase

The network is thoroughly
tested and evaluated before it
can be considered fully operational.

Why do you think

that it is important
to follow these steps
in making a LAN
design?

Importance of Preparing LAN Design

We have to follow this process so that we can
determine the long-term needs of the
network/organization.
Probable errors in the future can be avoided.
The organization can develop a very sufficient
and can utilize the resources well through
planning and so, the LAN design will not be
costly.

Identify the specific step in preparing a LAN

design according to its purpose then arrange the
steps in proper order , 1 as the first step and 5 as
the last step.
___a. Create a design that remedies network problems, allows for
growth, and accommodates current and future network
technologies. _____________
