Best practice for uplinking a WS-C3750-24PS-S stack to redundant distrubution switches

[gonzalezsteven22]

What is the Best practice to uplink a WS-C3750-24PS-S stack of 5 to redundant distrubution switches?

In the event if 1 of the  5 WS-C3750-24PS-S stack switches fails could the stack still work minus the down switch in the stack connecting to the upstream distribution switches?

Hi,

Use a Portchannel and put the physical links in it. Depending on the amount fiber, optics and the availability you need, I would say a minimum of 2 10Gig links (one from the master and one form the switch that will be the master when the first master fails) up to 4 10Gig. 

In the event if 1 of the  5 WS-C3750-24PS-S stack switches fails could the stack still work minus the down switch in the stack connecting to the upstream distribution switches?

That is correct.  if the master fails, whichever switch you have configured with the highest priority will take over packet forwarding

Sounds like a plan.
Thank you.
