What Is a Core Switch?
Sitting at the top of the hierarchical model, core switches interconnect distribution layer switches and provide high-speed data transfer across network segments. Unlike access or distribution switches, a

Enables IP routing between VLANs, subnets, and security zones, with advanced routing protocols. A core switch is a high-capacity, high-performance Layer 3 switch positioned at the physical backbone of an enterprise network. Engineered to aggregate massive volumes of data from distribution switches, it provides ultra-low latency and maximum throughput to ensure uninterrupted routing and packet. Generally, multiple data switches are used at the core layer of a network so that a large amount of data can be routed to the layers in the hierarchy. They perform a vital function in ensuring the network's reliability and stability because they are in charge of routing data across the network infrastructure in a reliable and timely manner.
