Secure Network Foundation Implementation
Guide for Single Site Deployments
Guide for Single Site Deployments
This document provides a simple vision for a smart and secure business where everyday communications
are made easier, faster, and more efficient. Cisco partners and resellers can use this guide to help small
to medium size businesses (SMBs) leverage the full value of their data networks by deploying reliable
secure routers and switches from Cisco Systems, which are easily provisioned and managed via the use
of simple graphical user interface (GUI) tools. The validated implementation guidance provided in this
document and the validated design guidance contained in the Secure Network Foundation Design Guide
for Single Site Deployments provide verification that the individual components that the system is
comprised of work together as designed.

Note
The design described in this document is based on a simplified and cost effective approach to
establishing a Secure Network Foundation as the initial phase of a network evolution. The redundancy
in LAN and WAN design is a mandatory attribute of a resilient network. A resilient network is
recommended for any network that transports mission-critical traffic. This aspect of LAN and WAN
design will be documented in a subsequent release of the validated design, targeted for Q1FY07. In the
meantime, contact your Cisco representative if you have any questions.
