Cable Management via Aggregation Switch

They support link aggregation protocols such as Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and Static Link Aggregation, which allow multiple physical links to be combined into a single logical connection. It also enables easy expansion by simply adding more fiber or network switches. Long-distance installations often require fiber optic cables to connect different sites because of. A multi-tier core / aggregation / access layer network is often created using a series of distribution areas that enable all switches to be connected to each other within the same layer as well as being connected vertically to switches in other layers. The Pro Aggregation does this with it's SFP28 25Gbps ports. 3ad) that dynamically manages link aggregation, provides automatic failover, and helps prevent misconfigurations by ensuring both ends of the link agree on the aggregation settings.
