We have a datacenter with 9 racks, each rack has 20 computers connected via ethernet cables to a dedicated 1 Gb Top Of Rack switch for that rack - in other words, there´s a total of 9 TOR switches and 180 computers. Our router only has 8 ethernet ports and I need to connect all 9 TOR switches to the router somehow; so I was thinking to add a aggregation switch between the TOR switches and the router. Question #1) Should this new aggregation switch be 10 gbs or 1 gbs as the TOR switches are all 1 gbs (but the router is 10 gbs)? Question #2) Or are there better ways of doing this without having to buy a new router with more ports?
