Hi, I understand "collapsed backbone" as instead of having the typical 3 layer campus i.e Core,distribution and access layer, the core and distribution layer are "collapsed" into one another therefor eliminating the distribution layer.
As an example - you may have a core consisting of 65xx Catalyst switches, and then directly connecting your server farm and access layer switches directly to the backbone devices...hope this helps.

[7:64467] Hello all, in a recent post I saw the term "collapsed backbone". I know that the network backbone is usually a high speed connection that a server farm sits on, and could even extend out to your IFD's. However I'm fuzzy on the term collapsed backbone. What dose this imply.
