Chapter 3. Basic Network Settings

3.1. Network Planning

Before installing the 4ipnet WHG Controller, careful network planning is required in
order to meet the networking needs with the most efficient utilization of network
resources. IT staff of any organization should assess the available network
resources at hand, and design a suitable network topology with resiliency, capacity,
and survivability in mind.
Typically, organization networks today are a combination of manageable wired and
wireless LANs, sometimes even remote LANs. Designed to fulfill most deployment
needs, the two main categories of network topologies supported by 4ipnet WHG
Controllers are:
1) Layer 2 Topology
2) Layer 3 Topology
Layer 2 Topology
This network topology aims to build a managed Local Area Network (LAN) which
consists of both wired and wireless capabilities to provide network services to a
limited physical area such as office building, hotel, school premises, and etc.
