Features: This book is a truly meaningful network system design book, comprehensively introducing the ideas and methods of network system design from the perspective of network system design. Unlike traditional network integration books that primarily focus on network technology basics and network device technology, which are typically covered in network fundamentals and network setup books, this book fully embodies the core concept of "design." The book is divided into 9 chapters. Chapter 1 elaborates on the basic ideas, steps, and essential rules that must be followed in network system design from a macro perspective. Chapters 2 to 9 sequentially introduce user requirement investigation and analysis, network topology design, structured cabling system design, network architecture planning and design, application system selection, network device selection, small and medium-sized network system solutions, and large and medium-sized network system solutions. Except for the last two chapters, which can be combined into one topic (network system solutions), chapters 2 to 7 truly follow the basic ideas and steps of network system design to introduce each major aspect of network system design, which is also a basic step in network system design. By following these basic steps, readers can design any complex network system. The last two chapters introduce nearly 40 practical solutions for local area networks (including WLAN networks) and wide area networks, ranging from simple single-switch small networks to large campus networks supporting tens of thousands of nodes. Most enterprise networks can directly find applicable network solutions in the book. The network solutions introduced in this book are based on the local area and wide area network technologies introduced in the first two books of this series, "Network Engineer Must-Read: Network Engineering Basics" and "Network Engineer Must-Read: Access Networks and Switching Networks." Therefore, readers must have a solid foundation in the content covered in these two books before reading this book. The book is well-structured, clear, and rich in case studies, making it suitable not only for self-study but also as a textbook for junior and senior colleges, undergraduate institutions, and various training institutions.
