Network Fundamentals

Which two characteristics describe the access layer in a three-tier network architecture?

Choose two
  • A serves as the network aggregation point
  • B physical connection point for a LAN printer
  • C designed to meet continuous redundant uptime requirements
  • D layer at which a wireless access point connects to the wired network
  • E provides a boundary between Layer 2 and Layer 3 communications
Explanation

The access layer is the network edge where end devices obtain connectivity to the campus LAN. It is the physical attachment point for devices such as printers, and it is also the layer where a wireless access point connects into the wired network. By contrast, network aggregation and the Layer 2/Layer 3 boundary are typically distribution-layer functions, while continuous highly redundant uptime is primarily a core-layer design goal.
