Installed in the middle of the network architecture, the aggregation switch is in charge of controlling the data sent from the lower layer (access layer switch), while also reporting data to the upper layer (core layer switch). It facilitates the connectivity because it would rapidly become impractical to. Generally, it adopts the managed switches in the core layer. It is also known as a distribution switch. This article looks at what each such tool does, compares how they differ from each other, and offers suggestions as to what sort of network each.
[pdf] An aggregation switch sits between access layer switches and the core network, acting as an intermediary. This article looks at what each such tool does, compares how they differ from each other, and offers suggestions as to what sort of network each. Switch aggregation, also known as link aggregation or trunking, is a method used in computer networking to combine (aggregate) multiple network connections in parallel.
