Port 1/0/49 goes to my router. Port 1/0/10 is an access port, Ports 2/0/2, 2/0/11, 3/0/3, and 3/0/6 each trunk to a 3560 switch over fiber. Port 3/0/4 goes to a 3560 switch located in the equipment room of my communication tower. None of the other switches have any wireless and there are no redudant links between any of these devices.
