The most common model is the three-tier hierarchy: Access Layer, Distribution Layer, and Core Layer. Each layer is served by specialized switches, with the access switch connecting end-user devices,

The access layer consists of layer 3 switches, which take routed and switched data packets from the distribution switches and then route them to the access devices in subnets. The access devices in

Access Layer Switches: Operating at the network''s edge, access switches connect end-user devices like PCs, printers, IP phones, and wireless access points. They are characterized by high port density,

Access switches are located at the network''s periphery, linking end devices to the network and managing local traffic. They perform roles like traffic isolation and enforcing security policies.

Components at the access layer typically include switches, access points, and security devices. Switches route data packets to their destinations within a network, providing essential connectivity.
