...looking advice about the redesign networks

[aukhadiev]

Hi,

looking advice about the redesign of our networks...

To date, the network is based on two-tier architecture - collapsed core (6509 VSS#1), access switches for desktops (2950/2960) conected directly to core  (via WS-X6748-GE-TX) and access switches for servers (4948-10GE) conected directly to core (via WS-X6708-10GE).

We want to deploy ASA-SM as central firewall and  originally planned to deploy it in new 6509 VSS#2 as a service chassis/block. Is it bad idea to move all access switches for servers (4948-10GE) to new VSS#2 from collapsed core VSS#1?

So in the end we will have one VSS#1 which terminates all access switches for desktops and second VSS#2 (with ASA-SM) which terminates all access switches for servers.

Thank you...

Hi Aukhadiev,

What you choose that is good design consider as your requirments. Colapsed core is good idea while minimise the requirments.

i advice create the different VLAN s between Desktops and servers. it will be help full while growing the network infrastrcture and you can  save your ports.

If advices acceptable please rate me.

Best Regards
