Which statements are true of hierarchal campus design? (Select two.)

The correct answer is B. It increases design flexibility. D. It leads to more manageable networks. Hierarchical campus design (access, distribution, core layers) increases design flexibility (B) because each layer has a well-defined role, making it straightforward to add, modify, or expand individual layers without redesigning the whole network. It also leads to more…

Explanation

Hierarchical campus design (access, distribution, core layers) increases design flexibility (B) because each layer has a well-defined role, making it straightforward to add, modify, or expand individual layers without redesigning the whole network. It also leads to more manageable networks (D) because fault domains are isolated per layer, troubleshooting is structured, and changes are predictable. Option A is false - hierarchy reduces, not increases, operational complexity. Option C is false - logical hierarchy often reduces cabling by aggregating uplinks rather than requiring every access switch to connect everywhere. Option E is false - hierarchical design remains a cornerstone of modern campus architecture.
