Overview
All design changes that you should start with a proof of concept development to be tested with your network. It is important that the current design, testing, configuration and IOS versions in a non-production and production network with limited interruptions. The implementation of modules to a newer network router, for example, may require that you change the current IOS is implemented. Making an impact these changes could campus or WAN modules already installed on the level of the production router. This is the real value on a Proof of Concept and certify that to integrate the new equipment and IOS versions with any device and network.
Benefits
The following list describes the advantages of doing a proof of concept with the design of your network. The Proof of Concept test results should be reviewed and used to modify the existing infrastructure, security and management requirements before generating a design proposal. The proof of concept “model proposed here is the construction of prototypes, procurement, design tests, scripts and construction equipment to examine the test results.
The following list describes the specific services in connection with the proof of concept testing
• communicate with the concerns of design, without your production network
• Create and configure scripts to test before implementation
• IOS new test, Cat OS and OS versions and firmware WAN
• copy of the feasibility of developing customer-specific
Proof of Concept model
The following list describes all counted proof of concept and components specific order.
1st Prototype Design
2nd The provision of equipment
3rd Define Tests
4th Equipment build scripts
5th Test results on
Prototype Design
The prototype is a model for examining the planning and execution of functions in a non-production, as a laboratory. You can use special protocols or IOS services and how they work in question with existing services and protocols and IOS running on your production network. The design must specify the topology, equipment, addressing and software versions.
The provision of equipment
Get circuits, cables, devices and servers for the test required. The hardware and software should be identical, the proposed design of specific tests and examinations. Connect the device as shown with the prototype and take note of certain versions of software and firmware testing.
Define Tests
The tests should be designed, the design features that are described as in all layers of the OSI model to review. Who would concentrate on the physical, network connectivity and application. The following is a list of proposals that should be changed to your specific needs. According to the current network and your tests, it might be an option to implement the tests in some polling access with minimal impact on the production network.
The following is a list of typical tests are conducted
• Equipment and Ping Server
• Routing and Switching
• Test security
• Test availability
• Application Load Testing
Equipment build scripts
Working with suppliers to build scripts for each device properly. This is especially true when using the design of new devices and protocols that have standardized with the industry. Discuss problems or concerns that the supplier with your current design and, if necessary, change the script and the specific design
Test results on
The Proof of Concept test results should discuss specific issues with all the defined tests. Note: What problems are solved and those which a vendor produce this page. The test results should be used to develop modifications to existing infrastructure, security and management specifications to date before you make the design proposal.
