Core layer switch forms the heart of the network. it interconnects all the subnetworks formed by distribution switches. It also has special modules such as IDPS. It has very high switching capacity when compared with normal (Access ) Switches.
Distribution switch forms the intermediate layer between access and core switch.

In a three-layer hierarchical network design which distribution layer function delineates broadcast domains?
routing between VLANs
What is the difference between a vertical distribution and a horizontal distribution?
VERTICAL DISTRIBUTION REFERS TO THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE DIFFERENT LAYERS IN A MULTITHREAD ARCHITECTURES ACCROSS MULTIPLE MACHINES.In princeiple, each layer is implemented on a different machine. horizontal machine deals with distribution of a single layer accross multiple machines such as distibuting a single database
What is diff between layer 3 switch and router?
both are the common inter networking devices(functionally) but the layer 3 switch has the functionality of both switch and router, layer 3 switch are most commonly used in frame relay networks, layer 3 switches are also capable of inter vlan routing
Which layer in the hierarchical Ethernet design model ensures that traffic between local networks will be allowed?
Distribution
What is a function of the distribution layer in the hierarchical design model?
provide connectivity between smaller local networks
Ws-c3560-24ps-e is layer 2 switch or layer3 switch?
It is a layer 3 switch
What is difference between L3 switch and router?
A layer 3 switch has routing capability like a router. However, it also has layer 2 switching capabilities like a switch. To fulfill both functions, layer 3 switches will generally have a greater number of ports than most routers.
This device serves as a gateway between two subnets It sends and receives packets between networks?
I believe it's a router. I have this question on a test the choices are. router, hub, layer 2 switch or firewall. I answered layer 2 switch. It was wrong.
What is the role of router in a distribution layer?
== ==
Why is a switch called as layer 2 device?
because one layer is the electrical part, and the other layer is the place where the switch is on.
What is another term for a layer 3 switch?
router operates on Layer 3 and can be used as a switch
Which hierarchical design characteristic would be recommended at both the core and distribution layers to protect the network in the case of a route failure?
The core layer is critical for interconnectivity between distribution layer devices, so it is important for the core to be highly available and redundant, so redundancy is the answer.
