QuestionQ44

Network architecture design

A network architect is creating a physical network design template for a small education institution’s satellite campus that has not yet been built. The new campus site will consist of two small classroom buildings, one screening room with audiovisual equipment, and 200 seats for students. Which of the following enterprise network designs should the architect recommend?

Explanation

A collapsed-core design combines the core and distribution layers into a two-tier campus architecture, providing a cost-effective and manageable design for a small site with a limited number of users and buildings. A separate core layer is more appropriate when campus scale, growth, or multiple distribution blocks require additional backbone capacity and fault isolation.
