Using this design, you can go up to eight switches and never need more than 4x10-GbE ports per switch to interconnect other access-layer switches or the aggregation layer.
Physically, the LAN edge is just the access layer, but securing the access layer now has to account for a bewildering mix of devices: enterprise owned, end-user owned, guest users, known users, Internet of
Imagine a corporate headquarters with 50 departments, each with its own switch at the access layer. Rather than running 50 separate connections to the core, the distribution layer

Visio physical drawings represent Layer 1 connectivity with the option of rack or standard topology drawings. The figure shown is based on Cisco device stencils with switch chassis, supervisor engine,
The access layer consists of layer 3 switches, which take routed and switched data packets from the distribution switches and then route them to the access devices in subnets. The access devices in
The Physical Layer is the foundation of the OSI model, acting as the bridge for actual physical connections between devices. Its primary mission is the transmission of raw, unstructured
Switches in this layer are called access switches. End devices connect to the LAN through the access switches. In other words, an access switch forwards traffic between connected
The diagram above shows one Layer 3 switch used for Aggregation, three Layer 2 switches used for access purposes and one router for Internet connectivity. Company X has several departments
