C8300 Dual Links to Core Switches

[ZK916]

Hello,

I wanted to know what would be the best way to link a single C8300 router to a pair of C4500 core switches which are configure in VSS. The goal is prevent a single link/single point of failure between the C8300 router and the core switches.

Thanks in advance.

If the C8300 support LAG or Bundle. one link go to SW1 1/0/1 another go to Sw2 2/0/1

Thanks for the quick response.

So, the LAG/Bundle would be configure as L2, correct?

yes On the switch side you can do Layer 2, on the router side you can do dot1.q encapsulation.

read the feature navigator, not looked myself totally  Cat 8300 documentation.
