Question 1

What is the difference between an access switch and a core switch?

Accepted Answer

Access switches connect end-user devices at the network edge, while core switches aggregate traffic and provide high-speed backbone connectivity.

Question 2

Do I need Layer 3 features in an access switch?

Accepted Answer

If you require inter-VLAN routing at the edge to reduce load on distribution switches, Layer 3 capability is recommended.

Question 3

How do I determine PoE requirements?

Accepted Answer

Calculate the total wattage needed for connected devices and ensure the switch’s PoE budget exceeds that requirement with buffer capacity.

Question 4

Are enterprise access switches compatible with existing network infrastructure?

Accepted Answer

Most managed access switches support standard protocols such as STP, RSTP, OSPF, and SNMP, ensuring interoperability across multi-vendor environments.

Question 5

What redundancy options are available?

Accepted Answer

Options include stacking, redundant power supplies, link aggregation (LACP), and dual uplinks to distribution switches.
