Access layer switches operate at Layer 2 of the OSI model and provide services such as VLAN membership. Access layer functions also include MAC layer filtering and microsegmentation. MAC layer filtering allows switches to direct frames only to the switch port that is connected to the destination device. The switch creates small Layer 2 segments called microsegments. The collision domain can be as small as two devices

Distribution Layer
The purpose of this layer is to provide a boundary definition in which packet manipulation can take place. Networks are segmented into broadcast domains by this layer. Policies can be applied and access control lists can filter packets. The distribution layer also prevents problems from affecting the core layer. Switches in this layer operate at Layer 2 and Layer 3. The distribution layer includes several functions such as the following: Aggregation of the wiring closet connections Broadcast/multicast domain definition Virtual LAN (VLAN) routing Any media transitions that need to occur Security

Distribution layer switches are the aggregation points for multiple access layer switches. The switch must be able to accommodate the total amount of traffic from the access layer devices. The distribution layer combines VLAN traffic and is a focal point for policy decisions about traffic flow. For these reasons distribution layer switches operate at both Layer 2 and Layer 3. The following Cisco switches are suitable for the distribution layer: Catalyst 3550/3560 series Catalyst 4500 series Catalyst 6500 series

Core Layer
The core layer is a high-speed switching backbone. If they do not have an associated router module, an external router is used for the Layer 3 function. This layer of the network design should not perform any packet manipulation. Packet manipulation, such as access list filtering, would slow down the switching of packets. Providing a core infrastructure with redundant alternate paths gives stability to the network in the event of a single device failure.

In a network design, the core layer can be a routed, or Layer 3, core. Core layer switches are designed to provide efficient Layer 3
functionality when needed. Factors such as need, cost, and performance should be considered before a choice is made. The following Cisco switches are suitable for the core layer: Catalyst 4500 and 4500-E series Catalyst 6500 and 6500-E series

Bottleneck !
When analyzing traffic on a network, consider where the data stores and servers are located so that you can determine the impact of traffic on the network.

An enterprise server supports all the users on the network by offering services, such as e-mail or Domain Name System (DNS) that everyone in an organization would need because it is a centralized function. A workgroup server supports a specific set of users, offering services such as word processing and file sharing. Enterprise servers should be placed in the main distribution facility (MDF). Workgroup servers should be placed in the intermediate distribution facilities (IDFs) closest to the users accessing the applications on these servers.
