Question 127

Which two characteristics describe the access layer in a three-tier network architecture? (Choose two.)

    Correct Answer: B, D

    The access layer in a three-tier network architecture serves as the physical connection point for devices such as LAN printers and is the layer at which wireless access points connect to the wired network. This layer is closest to end users and provides direct connectivity to the network. The aggregation or network aggregation point typically belongs to the distribution layer, while continuous redundant uptime requirements are more associated with the core layer. The boundary between Layer 2 and Layer 3 communications is also a function of the distribution layer.

What are two characteristics of the distribution layer in a three-tier network architecture? (Choose two.) A. serves as the network aggregation point B. provides a boundary between Layer 2 and Layer 3 communications C. designed to meet continuous, redundant uptime requirements D. is the backbone for the network topology E. physical connection point for a LAN printer A & B Correct

SeMo0o0oOptions: BD

B & D are correct

DB_CooperOptions: BD

The aggregation (or distribution) layer aggregates the uplinks from the access layer to the data center core. From CCNA Data Center DCICT 640-916 Official Cert Guide. access layer is closet to users

Hope_12Options: BD

B and D are for access layer. A and E are description for distribution layer. Question asks for access layer so answer is B and D.

hoisin

Now, which one is the correct answer BD or AE because Community vote distribution BD (60%) and AE (40%).

bymrdasOptions: BD

B & D is correct.

Junior_NetworkOptions: BD

BE for access layer

Junior_Network

Sorry it was BD

IsuzuOptions: BD

B. physical connection point for a LAN printer and D. layer at which a wireless access point connects to the wired network are the two characteristics that describe the access layer in a three-tier network architecture. Option A is incorrect because the aggregation point is typically found in the distribution layer, which aggregates traffic from the access layer. Option C is incorrect because continuous redundant uptime requirements are typically associated with the core layer, which is responsible for providing high-speed connectivity and fault tolerance. Option E is incorrect because the boundary between Layer 2 and Layer 3 communications is typically found in the distribution layer.

I read the question wrong at first . It for access layer. BD is correct. For distribution layer. AE is correct

Dutch012Options: BD

A & E for the distribution layer

Christopherjd20Options: BD

This question is asking for the characteristics for the access layer not the distribution. So B & D

freeknowledge123Options: AE

AE seems correct and self explanatory

DPAD

is A and E correct?

binrayelias

B and D is correct for access layer while A and E is for distribution layer.

Olly123Options: AE

A and E are both 'characteristics' that describe the access layer and also are correct.

Incorrect, distribution layer is the network aggregation point. The aggregation (or distribution) layer aggregates the uplinks from the access layer to the data center core.

That sounds like Distribution Layer.
