Home / Reasons for Selecting Access Layer Switches
Pick an access layer switch that (1) offers enough ports for every wired and PoE device you'll add over the next three years, (2) delivers the speed—1 Gbps for general traffic or 10 Gbps for heavy data—to keep users productive, and (3) includes security and management features that. When planning an enterprise access network, one of the most common dilemmas is whether to deploy Layer 2 (L2) or Layer 3 (L3) switches. The access layer plays a critical role in connecting end devices—such as computers, printers, IP phones, and wireless access points—to the rest of the enterprise. There are different types of enterprise switches that perform various roles in these layer-based or hierarchical ethernet networks. A Layer 2 access topology provides the following unique capabilities required in the data center: VLAN extension—The Layer 2 access topology provides the flexibility to extend VLANs between switches that are connected.
An access layer switch is the entry point for users and devices into your network—and a critical piece of both performance and security. For SMB IT managers and system integrators, choosing the right
