A hospital network has multiple segments: patient records, staff workstations, and guest Wi-Fi. The security team wants to enforce strict access control between these segments while maintaining high performance for internal traffic. The network uses a three-tier design with core, distribution, and access layers. Where should the firewall be placed to balance security and performance?

Between the distribution layer and the core layer

At the access layer, on every switch

At the core layer, replacing the core switches

A small office needs to connect 20 desktop PCs, 5 IP phones, and 3 printers to the network. The devices are spread across two rooms, and the IT manager wants a simple, cost-effective solution with minimal configuration. Which device type and placement is most appropriate?

A distribution switch in one room and an access switch in the other

A core switch in each room, interconnected with a trunk link

A router with built-in switching ports in each room

A single Catalyst access switch in one room, with all devices cabled to it

A school is deploying a new computer lab with 30 workstations. The lab is in a single room, and the network administrator wants to connect all workstations to the network with a device that also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for future IP phones. Which device should be selected?

Cisco Catalyst 9200 switch with PoE

A company is redesigning its campus network to support 2,000 users across multiple buildings. The design calls for high-speed forwarding between buildings, policy enforcement at the boundary between building aggregates, and direct connection of end-user PCs. Which three-tier architecture layer assignment is correct?

Core: end-user connectivity; Distribution: inter-building routing; Access: policy enforcement

Core: inter-building routing; Distribution: policy enforcement and aggregation; Access: end-user connectivity

Core: aggregation of access switches; Distribution: end-user connectivity; Access: inter-building routing

Core: policy enforcement; Distribution: high-speed forwarding; Access: aggregation of building traffic
