Above-level devices of aggregation layer switches
Aggregation switches are positioned in the middle of the network architecture, similar to mid-level managers in a company., access layer switches) and reporting it to the upper layer (i. By bundling multiple network connections into a single high-bandwidth link, aggregation switches help. An aggregation layer usually comprises a few blocks of two switches in MCLAG. By design, it therefore provides resiliency because it will always be deployed in pairs of switches and comes with a recommendation to deploy only dual hot swappable power supplies and redundant fans in each switch to. Knowing the roles of core, aggregation, and access switches in contemporary network topology becomes essential to...
