CompTIA DataX (CNX-001) — Question 78

A network architect is working on a physical network design template for a small education institution's satellite campus that is not yet built. The new campus location will consist of two small buildings with classrooms, one screening room with audiovisual equipment, and 200 seats for students. Which of the following enterprise network designs should the architect suggest?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Collapsed core, as it simplifies the architecture by combining the core and aggregation layers into one, which is ideal for smaller environments like the described campus. The other options, such as Hybrid, Dual-layer, and Three-tier, are more complex and better suited for larger networks, making them unnecessary for this specific design scenario.
