Understanding Switch Aggregation: A Comprehensive Guide
A: An aggregation switch is needed in network setups where there is a requirement to aggregate and process data traffic from multiple access switches before forwarding it to the core

Standalone AC Solution: Aggregation Switches Function as Gateways
In this example, aggregation switches set up stacks that function as gateways for wired and wireless users on the entire network and are responsible for routing and forwarding of user services.
