Cisco uses a three-layer hierarchical model to describe a network. What is the purpose of this hierarchical model?

  1. To design a network based on traffic pattern requirements

  2. To manage network device addressing

  3. To divide the functions of network protocols into manageable chunks

  4. To describe the process of data encapsulation

A Correct answer
Explanation

Cisco's three-layer hierarchical model (core, distribution, access) is designed to create networks based on traffic flow patterns and requirements. The core layer handles high-speed transport, distribution handles policy-based connectivity, and access provides local workstation connectivity. It does not manage device addressing (B), divide protocol functions (C), or describe encapsulation (D).
