Hello there,
Which of the Industrial Ethernet Switches will be ideal for a ring topology 8 SFP, 8 RJ45? Which protocol would be used, other then RSTP? I need faster convergence time. REP is only compatible with Cisco switches?
Thanks all
Hello there,
Little bit about my self, I am coming from the industrial side and very minimal experience with cisco products. Most of the produces I deal with are Siemens and Moxa.
Do the Cisco switches 3850 with family protocols IEE 802 protocols...
What is the convergence time of 3850 to enables STP Root Ports and STP Designated Ports to change from the blocking to forwarding port state? .
How many hops can the 3850 have with the RSTP?
Thanks for your time
Ring topology is very simply: it composed of 7 branching non Cisco switches (Siemens scalance X308), which connect the PLCs to ring. Information transfer is 800MB per cycle.
The reason we chose Cisco 3850 was because they had the option of 24 SFP, 4...
