When beginning your design process, make sure to have specifications about your current network environment available for use. Specifically, your hardware and software inventory and a map of network topology can be very helpful in reducing time spent during the design phase. For more information about creating those documents, see "Planning for Deployment" in Planning, Testing, and Piloting Deployment Projects of this kit.
