Across
- 2. A layer that connects end devices to the network.
- 6. A high-speed backbone of the network, designed for very fast switching, minimal latency, and redundancy.
- 7. Layering helps in applying security measures specifically where needed.
- 8. If access demands grow (more users, more devices), you can scale the access layer separately
Down
- 1. In networking, you can isolate problems to a particular layer, making troubleshooting more structured.
- 3. Examples of this are users’ PCs, printers, and wireless APs.
- 4. A layer that aggregates the access layer switches, applies policies, and provides redundancy.
- 5. Layers can be reused across different systems or parts of the network.
