Preface


Revised: December 21, 2009,

This guide provides a detailed blueprint for deploying a secure, converged network at a large enterprise branch. It describes a single branch network design to address common connectivity, security, availability, voice, and application optimization requirements for a branch office of 100 to 240 users. The design has undergone an intensive system assurance test program. The goal of this validated blueprint is to minimize the total cost of ownership (TCO) of a branch office network by accelerating and simplifying its deployment. The focus is on networking services that directly integrate into the branch office router. This guide supplements the general Cisco enterprise branch architecture documents, which can be found at:
