Hi,
I am looking for some technical support on Cisco Catalyst 9300 24 port switch.
I am using the 9300 switches to form 2 physically separate ring topology networks. I need downstream devices to have connectivity to both these networks for redundancy purposes, i.e. – in case one ring fails, the other ring will provide connectivity.
I want to know if I stack the switches from both ring networks using stack cable, would I be able to physically connect downstream devices to just one of the switches in the network and have the redundant switch still function as a backup?
I have illustrated this in a diagram:
I understand there might be some configuration that is involved in setting up these switches this way – if you could explain this as well, that would be much appreciated!
Let me know if you need more information.
Thank you for your support!
