5.3.1. Large Switches or Small Switches?

Bigger switches that can have hundreds of associations inside a solitary suspension are usually more intense than their smaller 24-port kin, and they have a tendency to have more inherent repetition, for example, excess power supplies in the unit etc. Be that as it may, now and then it's simpler and less costly to construct a network utilizing smaller 24-port switches. You can essentially buy an additional 24-port unit as a hot-swap backup (a backup unit that can be immediately swapped into take the position of a fizzled unit) that you can physically execute immediately. The main genuine inconvenience to this methodology is that the excess is not automatic. On the off chance that one 24-port switch fizzles, you'll have to move its associations with the backup switch. Conversely, a bigger unit can change to excess components consequently. As usual, consider such exchange offs painstakingly for your specific organization and its needs.
