CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 1198

What is the path for traffic sent from one user workstation to another workstation on a separate switch in a three-tier architecture model?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because, in a three-tier architecture, traffic typically flows through the access layer to the distribution layer, then to the core layer, and back down through the distribution layer to the access layer of the destination workstation. Options A, B, and C do not accurately reflect the complete routing path required for traffic between separate workstations on different switches.
