Having 8x100-GbE ports allows for six ports to go to the core switches and two ports to connect the aggregation layer in MCLAG
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. By bundling multiple network connections into a single high-bandwidth link, aggregation switches help. Switch aggregation, also known as link aggregation or trunking, is a method used in computer networking to combine (aggregate) multiple network connections in parallel. Its primary goal is to increase network scalability by providing a single place to interconnect multiple access switches and the core layer. It facilitates the connectivity because it would rapidly become impractical to. What...
