20. 20 © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Access Layer The access layer provides users in workgroups access to the network. It is the entry point for user workstations and servers to the network.

21. 21 © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Access Layer Functions of the Access Layer: Shared Bandwidth, if hub is used. Switched Bandwidth, if switch is used. MAC Layer filtering. Microsegmentation: creates small collision domain.

23. 23 © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Distribution Layer The distribution layer of the network is between the access and core layers. It helps to define and separate the core. The purpose of this layer is to provide a boundary definition in which packet manipulation can take place.

24. 24 © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Distribution Layer In a switched network, the distribution layer includes several functions such as the following: Aggregation of the wiring-closet connections Broadcast/multicast domain definition VLAN routing Any media transitions that need to occur Security

26. 26 © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Core Layer The core layer is a high-speed switching backbone. The core layer should be designed to switch packets as fast as possible.
