A large enterprise is designing a new campus network. The design team is debating whether to use a three-tier architecture or a two-tier collapsed-core design. The campus has 10 buildings, each with multiple access switches. The network must support high availability and minimize latency between buildings. The budget is sufficient for either design. Which design is most appropriate?

Single-tier flat network with all switches interconnected

Use routers instead of switches at every layer

Three-tier with a dedicated core layer

A mid-sized company is consolidating its campus network from three tiers to two tiers to reduce cost. The network currently has a core, distribution, and access layer. The company wants to maintain policy enforcement and high-speed forwarding while reducing the number of devices. Which approach is most appropriate?

Remove the core layer and connect distribution switches directly

Collapse the access and distribution layers, keeping the core layer

Replace all switches with routers to simplify the design

Collapse the core and distribution layers into a single layer, keeping the access layer

What is the primary function of an edge router in a network?

Connecting the network to external networks such as the internet or WAN

Providing high-speed forwarding within the campus core

Aggregating traffic from access switches

Connecting end devices like PCs and printers
