Core Switching & Routing

Pre-requisites:

  • Access to client environment or secure laptop provided

  • Scoping call with Ideal Paradigm

  • Discovery session (if required, based on complexity)

Service Overview:

Our core switching and routing service forms the backbone of your network infrastructure. We design, configure, and optimise enterprise-grade switching and routing environments to ensure seamless data flow, low latency, and high availability across campus, data centre, and remote sites. Leveraging technologies such as Cisco Catalyst/Nexus, Juniper EX/SRX, and HPE switches, we build scalable and resilient network foundations tailored to your business needs.

What We Deliver:

  • Architecture and topology design for Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks

  • Configuration of VLANs, STP, HSRP/VRRP, and dynamic routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP)

  • Deployment and optimisation of switching fabrics (e.g., Cisco Nexus 9K, Juniper EX, HPE ProCurve)

  • High availability routing and failover strategies

  • Integration with wireless controllers, firewalls, and SD-WAN solutions

  • Documentation, change control adherence, and post-deployment validation

Getting Started:

  1. Schedule a scoping call to review your existing switching and routing landscape.

  2. Grant access to your environment or provide a secured laptop.

  3. We design and implement the switching/routing architecture for optimal performance.

  4. Perform system validation, route trace testing, and configuration review.

  5. Sign off the work to ensure expectations were met and exceeded.
