Question Friday (is that a thing yet?)

So, I am currently designing and building out a new 90000 sq ft, 3 floor, 450 person, corporate headquarters.

ASRs on the WAN

Cisco NGFW running asa code for firewalls

Cat 9Ks

Layer 3 to the access switches

MPLS

Separate AV network (all later 3 to the TOR and Core switches)

I got a free DNA appliance from Cisco

The question is as follows.

For everyone that deployed corporate networks in the last year — what are some lessons learned that I want to look out for? What are some things that you did that you wish you didn’t and vice versa

For everyone that is building a corporate network now or just finished in the last month — what worked and didn’t work? Pain points?

For everyone else — what do you wish was around or was cheaper so you could deploy?

Talk to you all soon and happy networking!!
