Which task would typically require only services that are located at the access layer of the hierarchical design model?

• connecting to the corporate web server to update sales figures
• using a VPN from home to send data to the main office server farm
• responding to an email from a co-worker in another department
• printing a meeting agenda on a departmental network printer in a different VLAN
• intra-VLAN communications between two hosts that reside on the same local departmental network

Explanation: In the hierarchical LAN design, the access layer switches are not interconnected to each other. Communication between endpoints on different access layer switches occurs through the distribution layer, so an example of a task that typically requires only services located at the access layer is an intra-VLAN communication between two hosts that reside on the same local departmental network.
