Aggregation switch: where access layers come together

Between the PoE edge and the core sits aggregation: collecting access switches, applying policy and handing off at 10G. ONV's aggregation/core catalogue counts 59 models.

The range at a glance

Aggregation is the least glamorous and most consequential layer: sized too small, it caps every access switch beneath it; sized right, it disappears. The ONV aggregation catalogue spans gigabit Easy managed and L2 models for small networks, a 2.5G series for Wi-Fi 6 estates, and 10G uplink L2+/L3 models up to 54 ports for campus duty.

The PoE flagships live on their own pages; this line is the data layer — the switches that aggregate ONV PoE access switches (and any other access layer) into the core. Several models double as small cores in their own right; the core page covers the routing flagships.

Featured model — datasheet values

ONV56024F product photo

The ONV56024F is the aggregation pattern: 24 gigabit access ports, 10G uplinks (88 Gbps capacity, 65.47 Mpps forwarding) and a modest 30W draw — the quiet middle of a three-layer design.

How to choose

Size aggregation by the sum beneath it: total access bitrate at busy hour, times two for headroom, sets the uplink class (gigabit, 2.5G or 10G). Then decide whether aggregation also routes (L3 models) or hands everything to the core. Keep one management tier across the layer — mixed tiers are where configuration drift begins.

Where it is deployed

Campus and enterprise aggregation, hotel and hospital floors, school districts, and the collection layer above ONV PoE access switches in large surveillance estates.

Frequently asked questions

Aggregation switch or core switch — where is the line?

Role, not size: aggregation collects access switches within a building or zone; the core connects zones and routes the whole network. Small networks merge both into one L3 model — several in this catalogue are specified exactly for that.

Can aggregation switches from this line mix with ONV PoE access switches?

Yes — they are one catalogue with consistent management conventions. Mixed-vendor access layers also aggregate cleanly over standard Ethernet and SFP interfaces.
