Hello all Network Guru,
I have set up the REP ring for 2 Redundant IE5000 industrial switches and 3 Access switches.
these two IE5000 switches have been configured as HSRP.
for the REP ring:
two ports in 1st IE5000 have been configured as Primary Edge Port and Edge Port.
two ports in 2nd IE5000 and rest of access switches have been configured as Transit ports.
I have tested and the network convergence time to drop SW01 and drop SW02 are almost the same ( 0 or 1 ping lost).
the testing is pinging from VLAN 10 in Access switch SW-A to Servers in VLAN 100. The result is promising and looks all good.
However, I still have doubt whether it is the best setup.
I understand that the best solution is to stack up these two IE5000 switches. see the link for details.
can anybody point out any potential issue for my setup?
Thank you.
