4. When is a spine and leaf network preferred over a layered network topology?

5. What is the difference between an IDS and an IPS?

Answer 1

3. Network layer is the layer in which servers are connected.

4.If we need higher performance and better scalability then a spine and leaf network should be preferred over a layered network topology. Because of cloud infrastructure that make data center more optimised.

5.The major distinction between IDS and IPS is that one does monitoring whereas the other does controlling. Packets are not changed in IDS but scan them and check them thoroughly through a database for any threats. The IPS security system does prevent any packages from being delivered into the system network.
