Modular
A Large Campus Sized network would have more than how many end devices?
2000 end devices.
Which campus design element allows change in business is a guarantee for any enterprise. These changes drive campus network requirements to adapt quickly?
Flexible
The Networked Infrastructure Layer in SONA is what?
Where all IT resources interconnect.
A Small Campus network would have less than how many end devices?
Less than 200
In the Data Center Infrastructure there is the Core and the Access layer, but the distribution layer is replaced by what?
Aggragation Layer
What are the three layers of SONA?
- Application layer
- Interactive services layer
- Networked infrastructure layer
Normal Data is considered to be what?
File and print services, email, Internet browsing, database access, shared network applications
Why are hierarchical designs used with layers as an approach to network design?
Simplification of large-scale designs and Reduce complexity of troubleshooting analysis.
ASIC-based (hardware) switching is supported even with ___ and ___, depending on the platform
QoS and ACLs
A Medium Sized Campus network would have between how many end devices?
200 to 1000 end devices.
Why are Layer 2 domains popular in data center designs?
Data centers place heavier emphasis on low-latency, whereas some applications operate at Layer 2 in an effort to reduce Layer 3 protocol overhead.

IP/TV and market data applications are classified as what type of traffic?
IP Multicast
What is the Scavenger Class Traffic type?
All traffic with protocols or patterns that exceed normal data flows; less than best-effort traffic, such as peer-to-peer traffic.
Which layer in the Campus Architecture grants user access to network devices?
Building Access Layer
The Interactive Services Layer in SONA allows for what?
