trunk to different uplink

stefano colombo_1 — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 17:07:18 GMT

we are implementing a scenario with two core switch ( 5406 ) and several edges ( 2910-48)
I Just want a quick check on the configuration we wish to do.

we want to create a 2-port trunk on each 2910 switch and each port will be connected to one 5406

Is that correct ?
Is there some "design" guide from hp I can look for ?

thanks

Hello Stefano,

a trunk between switches always have to be coterminous - meaning begin together an end together. Use spanning tree protocol to create redundant connections.

Cheers,

Michael
