The Multilayer Campus Design
The multilayer campus design consists of a number of building blocks connected across a campus backbone. Several alternative backbone
designs are discussed in the next section. See Figure 2 to view the generic campus design. Note the three characteristic layers: access,
distribution, and core. In the most general model, Layer 2 switching is used in the access layer, Layer 3 switching in the distribution layer,
and Layer 3 switching in the core.
One advantage of the multilayer campus design is scalability. New buildings and server farms can be easily added without changing the
design. The redundancy of the building block is extended with redundancy in the backbone. If a separate backbone layer is configured, it
should always consist of at least two separate switches. Ideally, these switches should be located in different buildings to maximize the
redundancy benefits.
