You are talking about 2 physically separate routers connecting to PoE switch. Lets say you create vlan 100 and 200, then add port,lets say 10 to vlan 100 and port 20 to vlan 200. I want to provide best redundancy for an access switch (Cisco 3650) when connecting to two core switches (Cisco 9500 series), as show in attached topology. To establish a VSX relationship between the core switches, create a link aggregation (LAG) interface for assignment as the VSX data. By "Just Work" I mean that clients will be able to connect to either router with no problems. These switches would be known as 'Edge switches' Obviously I am not in the full know of what your network is. Deploying Parallel Redundanc...

02-18-2015 02:47 PM Simplest solution is to connect the ISP router to both 4500s which would also increase your redundancy. You don''t need a common vlan and
Cost: Switches that support stacking are often more expensive than non-stacking switches. Additionally, specialized stacking cables and modules
Hello everyone, Could someone please guide me on how to set up a layer 3 connection between a distribution layer and core layer switch? The way I understand is that in order to set up a
I''ve worked in large manufacturing facilities where the Core is connected to Distribution switches and they connect the standard layer 2 access switches. My boss was always on at me “upgrade the core
We have two 4507s at our core, running HSRP. We have three other 4507s at the edge, plus eight 2950s. All edge switches and WAN routers are connected to both core 4507s. We have a Port-Group
Yes, that is possible. You create 2 vlans on the switch. Lets say you create vlan 100 and 200, then add port,lets say 10 to vlan 100 and port 20 to vlan 200. Now you
