As we know networks can be extremely complicated, with using multiple protocols and diverse technologies. Cisco developed a layered hierarchical model for designing a trusted & reliable network infrastructure. This Three Layer model helps you to design, implement and maintain a scaleable, reliable, cost-effective network. Each of layers has own features and function, which reduces network complexity.
Example of the Cisco hierarchical model as given below in diagram
Defining each 3 layer:-
Access – Which control user and work group access to the resources. This layer usually incorporates at Layer 2 can be switch and access points that provide connectivity between workstations.
Distribution – Serves as communication point between the access layer and the core layer, primary functions to provide filtering, routing and WAN access. Determines the fastest way that network requests are accessed.
Core – Referred to as Network Backbone, which is responsible for transporting of large amounts of traffic. It provides inter connectivity between both layers
