Question

Drag and Drop Question Drag and drop the network topology architecture types from the left onto the corresponding function on the right. Not all architecture types are used. Answer:

Explanation

The correct arrangement maps four topology types to their hierarchical functions: 'access' connects end devices to the network, 'spine-leaf' provides high-speed, low-latency interconnection (typically in data centers), 'distribution' aggregates access layer traffic and enforces policy, and 'core' provides high-speed backbone switching between distribution layers. These represent the traditional three-tier hierarchy (access → distribution → core) plus the modern data center spine-leaf architecture, each serving a distinct and well-defined role in network design.
