The USW-Aggregation switch is designed for rack mounting in a standard 1U rack space. Secure the switch into your server rack using appropriate rack screws (not always included, depending on rack. An Aggregation or "Top-of-Rack" switch is designed to connect everything in a rack at high speeds, then have an even bigger pipe out to the rest of the network. The regular Aggregation switch is best used to connect all devices in a rack. An aggregation switch is a network device that consolidates traffic from multiple access switches, wireless access points, or other edge devices and forwards it to core switches or routers. By bundling multiple network connections into a single high-bandwidth link, aggregation switches help. This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Aggregation Switch, model USW-Aggregation. This managed Layer 2 switch is designed to enhance network performance with its eight 10G SFP+ ports, offering high-bandwidth. The In this deployment the Aggregation switch will have dual purposes, providing power and layer 2 access to wired devices and access points, while also aggregating downstream aggregation switches.
