Re: Complete infratrsucture overhaul!
One immediate suggestion I would make is to ditch the spanning tree idea over the two 10gbit links, and form a port/etherchannel instead. With spanning tree in the mix you only have 10gig in play with 10gig on standby, so not really 20gig as you say.
Port/etherchannel will combine them into a 20gig full duplex link, and if one link fails it simply falls back to 10gig full duplex. Different to above in that it is 20gig in play with the worst case scenario being that you drop 50% if there is a link failure.
It achieves much the same effect as the STP based idea you already have though.
You could use PVST and run different VLANs over different 10gig links, but port/etherchannel is much nicer IMO.
Other than that, whats wrong with HP gear? 
Seriously nice looking setup youve got going now. Dare I say it without sounding too wierd: sexy! 
And some reasonably artistic photos too. |

| ah, that little lot didn't even accur to me. i will have a look at the configs of the core switches over the next couple of weeks and see if that is something we can enable. cheers for the advice.
the config we have at the moment is the suggestion of our consultants so obviously can be changed when we deem fit as a firm.
cheers, it's a decent camera, especially with the fixed 50mm F1.4 lens on but i'm still learning photography and took them all in a rush. got some really nice snaps of non-geek gear that really show it off
cheers for the comments! |
