Virtual connect for a dummy

[NNSD]

Hello guys,

I'm new to HPE world and want to know what a Virtual Connect is.

Is it a switch?  A pass thru?

Do I necessarily need Top of rack switch if I want my blade servers to communicate with the external LAN through the virtual connect.

Thank you very much for your answer.
