HIERARCHICAL NETWORK MODEL
 HIERARCHICAL NETWORK MODEL
 Core Layer
 High speed backbone
 Highly available and redundant
 Can connect to internet resources
 Distribution Layer
 Aggregates data from access layer to core layer
 Perform routing function between VLAN
 Access Layer
 Interfacing with end device
 Include routers, switches, bridges, access point
 Connecting devices to the network
 BENEFIT OF HIERARCHICAL
NETWORK MODEL
 Sc al a b i l i ty
 Can be expanded easily
 Re d und a nc y
 At the core and distribution layer, ensure path availability
 Pe rfor ma n ce
 Link aggregation between switches allow near wire-speed throughout the network
 Se c ur i ty
 Port security at access layer and policies at distribution layer, more secure network
 Man a g e ab i l i ty
 Consistency between layer, makes management simple
 Mai nta i n ab i l i ty
 Modularity of Hierarchical Design allow network to scale without becoming overly
complicated
HIERARCHICAL NETWORK DESIGN
PRINCIPLES
 HIERARCHICAL NETWORK DESIGN
PRINCIPLES
 Network Diameter
 The number of switches in the path of traffic between two endpoints
 Each switch introduces some degree of latency
 Bandwidth Aggregation
 Implemented by combining several parallel link between two
switches into one logical link
 Redundant Links
 Use redundant link between hierarchical network layers in order to
ensure availability
SEPARATE NETWORK (VOICE, VIDEO,
DATA)
Voice Network

Video Network

Data Network
 CONVERGENCE NETWORK
 Legacy
 Convergence is the process of combining voice, video, and data on a network
 Feasible in large enterprise organization
 Require complex management network infrastructure
 Advanced Technology
 Medium-sized business
 Easy to manage and implement
 New Option
 Tie voice and video communication directly into employee’s personal
computer
 Softphone, Video Conferences
