How to manage L2 and L3 switches
With the most comprehensive feature set, Managed Switches provide the best application experience, highest level of security, and the most accurate network control/management capabilities. It also offers the highest scalability within the category of fixed configuration switches. So, managed switches are typically deployed as aggregate/access switches in large networks or as key switches in relatively small networks.
