核心交换机位于网络主干，是高容量的，作为WAN或Internet的网关。分布交换机连接核心层和接入层，确保子网和VLAN间的适当路由。接入交换机位于接入层，连接大多数设备到网络，通常具有高密度端口，直接与公共互联网通信。核心交换机与分布交换机的区别在于可靠性、功能和吞吐量，而核心交换机与接入交换机的区别主要在于端口数量和速度。分布交换机与接入交换机的主要区别在于其在网络中的层级和功能，分布交换机提供第3层功能，如路由和策略控制，而接入交换机通常为第2层设备。
The hierarchical internetworking model defined by Cisco includes core layer, distribution layer and access layer. Therefore, the network switches working in these layers get corresponding names like core switch, distribution switch and access switch. This post mainly explores the confusing problem: core switch vs distribution switch vs access switch.
Definition: Core Switch Vs Distribution Switch Vs Access Switch
What Is Core Switch?
Core switch is not a certain kind of network switch. It refers to the data switch that is positioned at the backbone or physical core of a network. Therefore, it must be a high-capacity switch so as to serve as the gateway to a wide area network (WAN) or the Internet. In a word, it provides the final aggregation point for the network and allows various aggregation modules to work together.
