To establish a VSX relationship between the core switches, create a link aggregation (LAG) interface for assignment as the VSX data plane's inter-switch link (ISL). The LAG can be defined at the Central UI group level when using the same ports for the VSX ISL on both core. What Is an Aggregation Switch and How to Choose? The three layers of a traditional three-layer network design are the core layer, aggregation layer, and access layer. Together, these layers can offer consumers a network that is safe, reliable, and affordable. I have another set of 4500-X which I want to connect to the Core as an aggregation switches (Layer 2 only) and use them to. Due to all traffic in a system is transmitted to the core switch, it is required to have high reliability, high efficiency, manageability, and low latency. Generally, it adopts the managed switches in the core layer. I have a lab where I have 2 cores, 2 aggs, and 2 access layer switches.
