Guide Link Aggregation: What is it, and How Does it Work?
One of the really interesting ways of deploying an aggregated link is to connect a device to a redundant pair of central core or aggregation switches. That is, instead of being a bundle of links
Guide Core layer | FortiSwitch 7.6.0 | Fortinet Document Library
With the use of a core layer, each aggregation switch only needs 2x100-GbE links, and the core layer is the only place where you need large numbers of 100-GbE ports.
