3500 3500yl increase bandwidth p2p.

3500 3500yl increase bandwidth p2p.

 We are going to change our switches, we have a area with 50 users, is the most intense network area, the other are not heavy.

 

 Our current network is a star with fiber single mode 100MBs, we are going to 1GBs over fiber and the 3500 3500 yl looks good for our current load.

 

 I will connect both switches over fiber this will have to give me 1GBs link.

 

My quesitons, is possible to add the 2nd link over fiber and setup the switches to use fiber-1 in/ fiber-2 out or with 2 links between both switches the link will have better performance than 1 link only?

 

Thanks.

Sounds like you want to setup a trunk.
