Why each option
The classical Cisco three-tier hierarchical networking model is composed of the Access, Distribution, and Core layers, each performing distinct roles in network design.
The Distribution layer aggregates traffic from the Access layer, provides policy-based connectivity, and handles routing and QoS between the Access and Core layers.
The Core layer functions as the high-speed backbone, providing fault-tolerant, efficient packet forwarding across the network.
The Access layer is responsible for providing network access to end devices such as workstations and servers, implementing local network segmentation and security.
Leaf is a component of the modern two-tier Spine-Leaf architecture, not the classical three-tier model.
Spine is a component of the modern two-tier Spine-Leaf architecture, not the classical three-tier model.
