A new office building has ports along the walls in each room where computers, phones, and printers plug in to connect to workgroup switches. A network technician needs to explain to a junior network technician which tier of the network hierarchy the devices are connecting to. In this example, which tier would the senior network technician be describing?
O Management plane
O Access/edge
O Backbone
O Control layer
