What do companies gain from the services performed at the network edge?
- faster communication with server farms
- stronger security against malicious attacks
- faster communication with Internet destinations
- enhanced performance and reliability through VLANs and redundant trunk links
Explanation: Because the access layer (network edge) is the connection point for endpoints, it plays a big role in ensuring that the network is protected from malicious attacks. This protection includes making sure the end users and endpoints connecting to the network are prevented from accessing services for which they are not authorized.
