Aggregation
The Catalyst 3500 XL switches can be deployed in wiring closets to aggregate workgroup networking devices such as
Ethernet and 10/100 switches; 10BaseT and 10/100 hubs; and workgroup servers. The Catalyst 3524 XL and 3512 XL are
well suited for customers who need a 10/100 aggregation switch with Gigabit Ethernet uplinks to backbone or servers (as
shown in Figure 1-12.). The eight Gigabit Ethernet ports on the Catalyst 3508G XL make the switch ideal for aggregating a
group of 10/100 switches with Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and Gigabit Ethernet servers in a high-performance wiring closet
aggregation configuration.
