![]() Nobody here (a small 2 man team) seems to be able to answer these for me! Please let me know if I need to provide some extra info here to get this questions answered.Ī Stack makes one logical switch out of multiple individual physical units. ![]() Having a mini panic attack here as I've kind of been thrown in the deep end with no support. What are some of the problems, if any, with this design? If ServersSW2 were to crash, would hosts on UserSW3 & 4 still be able to make outbound connections via their stacking cables to UserSW2 & 1?ĭ. If a host on UserSW3 is to connect out to the internet via Router1, is it connecting to ServersSW2 then over the stacking cables to ServersSW1 then to Router1?Ĭ. If a host on UserSW1 needs to communicate with a host on UserSW3 on the same vlan, is it doing this via the UserSW stacking cables or via the LAG uplink to ServersSW1, over the ServersSW stacking cables then back via the LAG?ī. ![]() What I know for a fact is that the routers are in an active/passive configuration so only the link from ServersSW1 to Router1 is being used. The Server Switches and User Switches are apart of a ring stack each and the Server Switches are connected to the User Switches as part of a LAG. All inter-vlan routing is being done at the routers. They seem to be running a collapsed core model however the 2 server switches, although multi-layer switches, are not doing any routing. I just landed my first IT Support role and I'm trying to understand their network and was hoping somebody might be able to answer a few questions for a beginner like me that would help me get my head around it.
