ii. Distribution Layer

The distribution layer serves many important services for the LAN. The primary function is to serve as an aggregation point for multiple access layer switches in a given location or campus. In a network where connectivity needs to traverse the LAN end-to-end, whether between different access layer devices or from an access layer device to the WAN, the distribution layer facilitates this connectivity.

Scalability

In any network where multiple access layer devices exist at a location to serve end-user connectivity, it becomes impractical to interconnect each access switch as the access layer grows beyond two or three switches. The distribution layer provides a logical point to summarize addressing and to create a boundary for protocols and features necessary for the access layer operation. Another benefit of the distribution layer boundary is that it creates fault domains that serve to contain failures or network changes to those parts of the network directly affected.

iii. Core Layer

In a large LAN environment there often arises a need to have multiple distribution layer switches. One reason for this is that when access layer switches are located in multiple geographically dispersed buildings, you cansave costly fiber-optic runs between buildings by locating a distribution layer switch in each of those buildings. As networks grow beyond three distribution layers in a single location, organizations should use a core layer to optimize the design. Another reason to use multiple distribution layer switches is when the number of access layer switches connecting to a single distribution layer exceeds the performance goals of the network designer. In a modular and scalable design, you can collocate distribution layers for data center, WAN connectivity, or Internet Edge services.

In environments where multiple distribution layer switches exist in close proximity and where fiber optics provide the ability for high-speed interconnect, a core layer reduces the network complexity, as shown in the following two figures.
