A key responsibility of a network consulting engineer is creating the network designs for the organization. The Cisco interviewer expects you to be able to sketch out a rough network diagram and explain your rationale for the topography. When asked to do this, keep your diagram simple, using easy-to-understand illustrations and little to no text. Focus on the explanation to demonstrate your knowledge of network design concepts and elements.

"As you can see from my diagram, this is a network topology for a medium-sized organization with several departments. I've used a combination of switches, hubs, and routers to segment the network and isolate several of the user groups. This allows me to direct the network traffic more granularly, thereby improving the performance of the network. I've also designed in firewalls and VPNs to prevent unauthorized intrusions while providing the organization's users secure access to the Internet."
