Difference between core switch and normal swtich?

What are core and edge switches and why should you care? A core
switch is a backbone device, a switch that is central to your
network's successful operation. You use it to connect to servers,
your Internet service provider (ISP) via a router, and to aggregate
all switches that your company uses to connect crucial pieces of
equipment that your company can't afford to lose to downtime. As a
result, your core switch should always be a fast, full-featured
managed switch.
edge switches, on the other hand, connect client devices, such
as laptops, desktops, security cameras, and wireless access points,
to your network. For this reason, edge switches generally are
considered less crucial than core switches to a network's smooth
operation. If there are areas of the office such as a conference
room where you don't need the features of a fully managed switch,
your company can save some money by installing smart switches, such
as the Cisco 200 Series, or even unmanaged switches for use at the
edges of your network.
