Explanation: The Cisco hierarchical network design model divides the network into three distinct layers. The access layer provides connectivity for the users. The distribution layer is used to forward traffic from one local network to another. The core layer represents a high-speed backbone layer between networks. The network layer is part of the OSI model. The Internet layer is part of the TCP/IP model. The application layer is part of both the OSI and TCP/IP models.
