Before we jump into the discussion of the similarities and differences between collapsed core and three-tier architectures, let’s first recap some of the key terminologies. Campus Network –A computer network that is larger than a Local Area Network (LAN) but smaller than a Metropolitan Area ...
Collapsed concept is simply core/distribution in one. But they recommend the L3 port-channel between the core/distribution switches to reduce loops risks, which is understandable. My problem is figuring out which spanning tree topology is needed/would work best. Obviously the 2 core switches would...
Outside of the data center, the Cisco Nexus 7000 can also be used in the core layer of the campus LAN. The main driver for utilizing the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series in the core of a campus LAN network is the ability to collapse the LAN and the data center core, which usually are on ...
Topology T2- This topology is to support redundancy at the service provider edge (dual homing) or can be also used for load balancing. Topology T3 - In this topology, the service edge router converges to the external core router, ...
Topology T5 - This topology is used for edge router connectivity for terminating the traffic without going to the core internal router. Topology T6 - This topology is to support core router redundancy. In case P1 router goe...
