Distribution block
will be used to aggregate Access
switches for the respective locations. Two Cisco Nexus
7706 switches will be used at each Distribution layer.
There are multiple distribution blocks, which in turn
connect to the access switches.
Access block
terminates the actual end users. Devices like
computer desktops and IP Phones connect to the access
layer. UAEU has cutting-edge 3850 switches forming this
layer. These switches also have 12 multi-gig ports (M-gig)
which connect to M-gig capable hosts such as access
points and can provide upto 10Gbps speed.
