As the physical part of the aggregation layer, aggregation switches typically play a crucial part in the overall network architecture. So, what exactly is an aggregation switch, and how do you

Aggregate and connect access switches for users into aggregation switches and within the data center to achieve a high availability, high performance data center infrastructure.

Rather than having every access switch connect directly to the network backbone, the aggregation layer acts as a funnel. It takes high-bandwidth connections from below and routes them

Regular switches often lack the necessary bandwidth capacity, processing power, and features (like advanced QoS) to handle the demands of an aggregation layer. Using an undersized

As the aggregation point of access switches, the aggregation switch is required with the ability to process the access layer information and submits it to the upstream chain of the core layer.
