  • Are all aggregation layers Layer 2 switches

    Are all aggregation layers Layer 2 switches

    Functional management: Unlike core switches, aggregation switches can be either Layer 2 or Layer 3 switches. An aggregation switch is a network device that consolidates traffic from multiple access switches, wireless access points, or other edge devices and forwards it to core switches or routers. The aggregation layer serves as the convergence point for multiple access layer switches and is responsible for handling all. 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. The core layer is the backbone of the network.


  • Several interfaces of the aggregation layer switch
