Hierarchical Network Design Benefits

Access control lists (ACLs) consistently increase CPU load on multilayer Catalyst switches. Catalyst 2960 switches and lightweight access points would be appropriate devices to use at the access layer to provide end-user connectivity. Cisco Express Forwarding is required for a multilayer switch to successfully forward packets. The Nexus 5000 family of Cisco switches supports Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). The core layer is responsible for high-speed backbone switching and interconnection of distribution layer devices. Voice carrier stream and call control signaling must be included when calculating bandwidth requirements to support a voice stream in an IP telephony network.

What is the purpose of the Cisco Enterprise Architecture?

It replaces the three-layer hierarchical model with a flat network approach.

It provides an enterprise-wide system network architecture that helps protect, optimize, and grow the network
infrastructure that supports the business processes of a company.

It provides services and functionality to the core layer by grouping various components into a single component that is
located in the access layer.
It reduces overall network traffic by grouping server farms, the management server, corporate intranet, and e-commerce
routers in the same layer.
