Chapter 13. Designing Small SAFE Networks
This chapter covers the following topics:
- Components of SAFE Small Network Design
- Corporate Internet Module
- Campus Module
- Branch Versus Headend/Standalone Considerations for Small Networks
The principle goal of Cisco SAFE blueprints is to provide to interested parties best-practice information on how to design and implement secure networks. SAFE serves as a guide to network architects who are examining the security requirements of their networks. SAFE blueprints combat security threats by using a modular method that allows for the creation of a scalable, corporate-wide security solution.This is the first of three chapters that cover the specific design requirements of the "SAFE: Extending the Security Blueprint to Small, Midsize, and Remote-User Networks" (SAFE SMR) design model. The focus of this chapter is the specific security design requirements of the small network.
