Design Guide A scenario wherein BPDUs are lost may be caused by unidirectional links, which can cause Layer 2 loops. To prevent this problem, use Loop G uard a nd UDLD. Loop Guard prevents a port from forwarding as a result of missed BPDUs, which might cause a Layer 2 loop that could bring down the network.

Design Guide Figure 6. Alternative Network Configuration Data Center Network Architecture The architecture of the data c enter infrastructure must addr e ss the requirements necessary to create a highly available, scalabl e, and secure network. This section describes the b asic architecture necessary to meet these goals.
Design Guide Figure 7. Data Center Front-End Network Aggregation Lay er The aggregation layer is a p oint of convergence fo r network traffic that provides connectivit y between server farms and the rest of the enterpr ise.

Design Guide Slot Count The data center infrastructure must be fle xible enough to allow growth in both server capacity and service performance. Connec ting a blade system directly into the aggreg ation layer places more significance on the number of slots available to accommodate blade-s ystem uplinks and integrated services.
Design Guide The data center core is a mechan ism to r eplicate and horizontally scale the data center environment. In the recommended des ign the aggregation and access la yers are regarded as a module that can be duplicated to extend the enterprise.

An important point after buying a device NAD 3020 (or even before the purchase) is to read its user manual. We should do this for several simple reasons:
If you have not bought NAD 3020 yet, this is a good time to familiarize yourself with the basic data on the product. First of all view first pages of the manual, you can find above. You should find there the most important technical data NAD 3020 - thus you can check whether the hardware meets your expectations. When delving into next pages of the user manual, NAD 3020 you will learn all the available features of the product, as well as information on its operation. The information that you get NAD 3020 will certainly help you make a decision on the purchase.
If you already are a holder of NAD 3020, but have not read the manual yet, you should do it for the reasons described above. You will learn then if you properly used the available features, and whether you have not made any mistakes, which can shorten the lifetime NAD 3020.
However, one of the most important roles played by the user manual is to help in solving problems with NAD 3020. Almost always you will find there Troubleshooting, which are the most frequently occurring failures and malfunctions of the device NAD 3020 along with tips on how to solve them. Even if you fail to solve the problem, the manual will show you a further procedure – contact to the customer service center or the nearest service center
