    VLANs break large broadcast domains into smaller ones and must be secured physically and through passwords. The access layer provides network access to end users through layer-2 bridging of broadcast domains. The distribution layer aggregates layer-2 domains and provides routing and policies between the access and core layers. It provides redundancy. The core layer provides high-speed, scalable, and reliable connectivity by aggregating distribution switches across buildings.

    VLANS:

    Vlan brakes the large broadcast domain into small broadcast domains
    Securing vlans
    o Physical security of switch
    o Set passwords and control the accessing the switch by console, vty and telnet
    o Avoid using of vlan 1
    o Disable protocols on ports that dosent require them (cdp, dtp,pagp,udld, etc)
    o Always enable spanning-tree portfast, root guard and bpduguard on the port
    o Shutdown unused ports
    o Control inter-vlan routing using ip accesslist
    Access Layer
    The primary function of an access-layer is to provide network access to the end user.
    o This layer often performs OSI Layer-2 bridge function that interconnects logical Layer-2 broadcast
    domains
    o and provides isolation to groups of users, applications, and other endpoints.
    o The access-layer interconnects to the distribution layer.
    Distribution Layer
    Multi-purpose system that interfaces between access layer and core layer.
    Some of the key function for a distribution layer include the following:
    o Aggregate and terminate Layer-2 broadcast domains
    o Provide intelligent switching, routing, and network access policy function to access the rest of the
    network.
    o Redundant distribution layer switches provides high availability to the end-user and equal-cost
    paths to the core.
    o It can provide differentiated services to various class-of-service applications at the edge of network.
    Core Layer
    The core-layer provides high-speed, scalable, reliable and low-latency connectivity.
    o The core layer aggregates several distribution switches that may be in different buildings.
    o Backbone core routers are a central hub-point that provides transit function to access the internal
    and external network.
