I have a concern with the way a vendor setup the network for our two 15454's. Unfortunately this vendor is acting like a car dealer and doesn't want to answer/respond to our questions about the setup. Below is my concern/question that I sent to our vendor to no avail and hoping someone on here can help out. I have also attached a simple diagram of the physical setup:
I have put a diagram together of the current physical setup and it shows the Travis ONS is going from its Slot 11 to Switch 2 Port 0/2 (VLAN2) and Slot 7 is going to Switch 1 port 0/2 (VLAN2). Both ports which are on VLAN 2. Then you have the Main ONS Slot 7 going to Switch 1 port 0/1(VLAN1) and Slot 11 going to Switch 2 port 0/1(VLAN1) which is a trunking port with no native VLAN set so it defaults to VLAN1. Not sure why this port is setup to trunk unless it was meant to be used to connect to our network and the Slot 11 and 7 of the Main ONS was supposed to plug into another port.
So right now I see that the Main ONS is only talking on VLAN 1 and the Travis ONS is only talking on VLAN 2. Is this how it should be setup? Also, does there have to be multiple VLANS as of now I don't see why we would need to have two VLANs setup. We normally use VLAN 2 for management purposes and would like to continue to do that. And we have heard talk of a heartbeat between the two ONS. What VLAN/Port is the heartbeat taking place on if there is actually one occurring?
Thanks in advance
