The Functions of Aggregation Layer Switches
The aggregate switch plays a critical role in ensuring network performance and reliability. As the physical part of the aggregation layer, aggregation switches typically play a. Function: Connection point for all devices on a segment of segment of a network that breaks down and absorbs the data flow between all of the connected devices rather than flooding it to all connected devices. Its primary goal is to increase network scalability by providing a single place to interconnect multiple access switches and the core layer. The core layer is an integral part in networking, but it is not requested in all networking deployment, especially in the small scale of network, such as networking with computer number below 50 sets, while the replacement of the core switch could be an 8 port switch.
