Answer options

• A. Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols run close to the endpoints to better implement ACL and QoS policy at the edge.
• B. Improved performance by offloading processing from the Access layer to the Core.
• C. Use of layer 2 switches at the access layer can process and route traffic from attached APs.
• D. Support for WAN/MPLS, Internet, and Data Center directly on the Collapsed core.
• E. Provides a more cost effective solution given that no additional switches are required for a third tier.

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

The correct answers, A and E, highlight the advantages of having Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols near the endpoints for better policy implementation, as well as the cost-effectiveness of not requiring additional switches for a third tier. Options B, C, and D do not accurately reflect the specific benefits of a 2-Tier design in this context.
