Question

A magazine editor has hired a team of network consultants to install and configure a new network. The network will be a tiered switching network with several VLAN trunks. The editor owns a particular device that is able to access all employee VLANs. Decide where the editor's device should be connected in order to access μltiple VLANs.

a) In the core layer.
b) In the distribution layer.
c) In the access layer.
d) In the aggregation layer.

Answer 1

The editor's device should be connected in the distribution layer to access multiple VLANs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The editor's device should be connected in the distribution layer in order to access multiple VLANs.

In a tiered switching network, the distribution layer provides routing and filtering between VLANs. By connecting the editor's device to the distribution layer, it will have access to all employee VLANs.

For example, if there are three VLANs (VLAN A, VLAN B, and VLAN C), the editor's device can be connected to a distribution switch that is connected to all three VLANs. This way, the device can communicate with devices in all VLANs.
