A suitable number of devices connected to the core switch
Environments with fewer than 50 connected devices typically do not generate enough internal traffic to justify enterprise core hardware, and a robust router with managed access switches is sufficient. This white paper introduces the following three types of network switches and further discusses the selection criteria for each switch. For a network with over 100 computers, a core switch is indispensable for ensuring stability and high performance. A core switch is a high-capacity, high-performance primary switch installed at the backbone or physical core of a layered hierarchical network.
