4 switch interconnection

[fpelliccione]

Hi all!

I am in this situation, I have to interconnect 4 switches on the same vlan.I also have 2 Ubiquiti antenna for interconnecting the "Storage switch" to the main office. I want to interconnect "office switch 1st floor" to "office switch ground floor" to "storage switch" and the "storage switch" to "office switch 1st floor" but the problem is that I can't connect "storage switch" to "office switch 1st floor" due to distance, and the customer don't want to spend money on fiber. If I interconnect the switches in daisy chain, can I have problems?

Thank you

It depends on some factors...  What is the speed of the wireless connection?  What are the links between switches at that site?  The "storage switch" - is it where you have file servers, and it is a fairly capable switch, or is it just a low-end switch in a storage room?

If Storage truly is a file server (site) storage switch on capable switches and your uplinks and ground floor switch are not low-end switches, then effectively you have a "core-distribution-client" scenario, without much of  a distribution layer.  You will be subject to potential failures , though, in the 1st floor - every time ANYTHING happens, they'll be affected.

The wireless connection is certified at 450mbps+ and the distance is not too high and in between there is nothing to obstruct the wireless signal but is not configured. Nothing is configured. We can only use copper cables to made the interconnections and the "storage switch" is too far from the "office switch 1st floor".

Let me clarify.

Office switch: Cisco Catalyst 2960X-48TS-L, main office with DC servers, file server, dhcp, etc.etc.

Office switch ground floor: Cisco 3560CX-12TC-S is for workshop network and few plc, but I have 6 ports working on another vlan, uplink ports and the other six are free.

Storage switch: Cisco SG200-10FP, nothing is connected to this switch. This is a storage area for the material of the workshop. Only the wifi Antenna and cables that comes to the ground floor of the main office are connected.

Other office switch: Cisco SG200-50FP, in this office few people works and there is an access point and one printer.
