Using the layer 3 access design removes the layer 2 to layer 3 boundary at the distribution layer and makes each access switch the boundary between the layer 2.
Design the lans for each floor the distribution layer backbone.
Two main readings for this topic are an excerpt from cisco networking simplified and chapter 3 from the o reilly book.
Physically a traditional network design would likely see these utp cables backhauled from the individual rooms to a comms.
The local access layer that provides workgroup user access to the network.
Design the lans for each floor the distri bution layer backbone that will connect the different floors in the building and the part of the network that will connect into the campus core backbone.
Each of these distribution points then connect back to a central comms.
In another approach to access and distribution layer design you can use layer 3 beyond just the core and distribution layers and configure layer 3 all the way into the access layer.
Room on each floor acting as a distribution point.
Design the lans for each floor the distribution layer backbone that will connect the different floors in the building and the part of the network that will connect into the campus core backbone.
Draw where the network equipment would be placed use the floor plans provided the first floor has an open lobby with a seating area and separate.
The required maps for your design are listed below.
Function of the core layer.
Draw where the network equipment would be placed use the floor plans provided 2.
Design the lans for each floor the distribution layer backbone that will connect the different floors in the building and the part of the network that will connect into the campus core backbone.
There is overlapping information in those 2 readings the 1st source will help you with a simplified review and a summary of network infrastructure design principles.
The backbone core layer that provides optimal transport between sites.
Your team was hired to design the network for this res idence hall.
Specify where the network equipment would be placed use the floor plans provided.
