Home / Campus Network Access Layer Switch Selection
Selecting campus LAN switches depends on a number of factors, ranging from cost effectiveness, port connection types, port speed, usefulness, security, troubleshooting features, throughput, redundancy, and working environment to whether the switch requirement is core . L2 device only – connecting end users! L2 device only – connecting edge switches! Fibre to building distribution, or is copper enough? But would you be. In most real projects, access-layer choices are driven by port density, PoE, closet growth, and uplink readiness. This chapter describes the Layer 2 and Layer 3 technologies used to design and build an HPE Aruba Networking campus topology. The Distribution PIN (Tier 2) focuses on connecting multiple Access layers and the Core layer.
Network reliability design The access layer and aggregation layer in this case both use a switch for networking. The reliability of switch networking is divided into port-level reli-ability and device-level
