Access Layer Switch Selection Guide

Home / Access Layer Switch Selection Guide

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. This is the next generation of modular Gigabit and Multigigabit Ethernet switches. The series provides enterprise-class Layer 2 and 3 switching, is designed for DNA Center and SD-Access management and automation, and includes an Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty (E-LLW). It plays the role of connecting end-users or end nodes such as PCs, printers, wireless access points to the network. Prioritize raw processing and deep buffers at the core (Huawei/Ruijie), and maximize PoE density and cost-efficiency at the access layer (NSComm).
