Aggregation and Backbone Switching
You can use model GC728X, GC728XP, GC752X, or GC752XP as an aggregation or
backbone switch in a network that gives users high-speed access to network devices
and the Internet.
In a small office or home office network, you can use the switch as a backbone switch
and connect it directly to your Internet router or Internet modem. The switch can provide
10G Internet speeds only if your Internet connection supports 10G.
The following figure shows the switch functioning as an aggregation switch with an
uplink to a high-speed network router, a firewall, and the Internet and connected to a
high-speed storage device, switches, and network devices.
