Hi
I have a customer wanting to use spare Cat9300 switches as extended nodes essentially to supply 24 ports of connectivity to small areas that are not cabled back to the Border nodes. So they want to hang a 24 port switch off a nearby edge switch. When I look at the design guide it says IE3k/4k/5k models as well as Cat3650 nodes are supported as extended nodes. Does this mean we can’t use any other switches such as Cat9300 and if so what is it that stops these being used?
Thanks, Kev.
