Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions (DESGN, legacy) — Question 28

Application servers require load balancing and security services. Where in the data center network should these services be provisioned?

Answer options

• A. core
• B. aggregation
• C. Layer 3 access
• D. distribution

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as aggregation layers are responsible for providing services like load balancing and security before traffic is forwarded to the core or access layers. Other layers, such as core and distribution, primarily focus on routing and forwarding traffic rather than offering these specialized services.
