Overview
Plan switching capacity, routing and power alongside resilience and operations.
Design considerations
Switches connect local endpoints while routers connect networks. VLANs provide logical separation; inter-network policies determine permitted traffic. Capacity planning should consider uplinks, traffic patterns and growth.
Operational practice
A PoE budget must cover each powered device and the total switch limit. Consider redundancy, monitoring, configuration backups and documentation. Validate performance against the intended workload.
