In a three-tier campus LAN design, which of the following are typically true of the topology design? (Choose two answers.)

In a three-tier campus LAN design, which of the following are typically true of the topology design? (Choose two answers.)

• The design uses a partial mesh of links between access and distribution switches.
• The design uses a full mesh of links between access and distribution switches.
• The design uses a partial mesh of links between the distribution and core switches.
• The end-user and server devices connect directly to distribution layer switches.

Explanation: The access layer switches, not the distribution layer switches, play the role of connecting to the endpoint devices, whether they are end-user devices or servers. Then, from the access to the distribution layer, each access layer connects to two distribution switches typically, but with no direct connections between access layer switches, creating a mesh (but a partial mesh). A three-tier design, also called a core design, does use core switches, with a partial mesh of links between the distribution and core switches. Basically, each distribution switch connects to multiple core switches but often does not connect directly to other distribution switches.
