Aggregates data from access layer before transmission to the core; high-performance devices with redundancy for reliability.
Distribution Layer
High speed backbone for interconnecting distribution layer devices; aggregates traffic from distribution layer, can forward lerge data volums quickly
Core Layer
Ensures high availability, especially at access and distribution layers
Redundancy
allows the switch to decide how many or what specific devices are allowed to connect to the switch.
Port Security
Combining voice and video on a data network
Convergence
It is wired separately from the voice and data networks
Videoconferencing
the formation of a number of things into a cluster;
Aggregation
Interfaces with end devices (connects PCs, Printers, Ip phones)
Access Layer
Access layer connects?
PC, printer, phones
the process of measuring the bandwidth usage on a network and analyzing the data for the purpose of performance tuning.
Traffic Flow Analysis
you cannot add features or options to the switch beyond those that originally came with the switch; are commonly used in SMBs, branch offices, and home networks due to their fixed number of ports.
Fixed configuration switches
It allows multiple switch port links (ethernet cable) to be combined and work as one logical connection; It can helps reduce network bottlenecks by combining multiple switch ports to increase data throughput and provide fault tolerance
Link aggregation
Offer more flexibility in their configuration. _____________ typically come with different sized chassis that allow for the installation of different numbers of modular line cards.
Modular Switches
is the number of ports available on a single switch
Port Density
Is a graphical representation of a network infrastructure. It shows how all switches are interconnected, to which switch port interconnects the devices.
