• Solution Design
  • Logical design
  • Physical design
  • Network topologies
  • IP addressing
  • Security features and policies
  • Redundancy and failover plans
  • VPN service implementation
• Refer the sample document included below for network design, and consider how to implement VPN services onto the network.
