Page 48: Inter-Rack Switch Connectivity - Linear Topology (Daisy-Chain) Between Ex-Series Racks
EX300 Platform Figure 32 Inter-rack switch connectivity - linear topology (daisy-chain) between EX-Series racks The inter-rack linear topology between an EX-Series rack and a Gen2 rack is shown in the following figure. For a mixed Gen2 and Gen3 environment, use Turtle switch port 51 for inbound, and port 52 for outbound. -
Page 49: Ring Topology
EX300 Platform Figure 34 Ring topology The ring topology is very similar to the daisy chain/line topology, except that it is more robust since it requires two points of failure to break the topology which would cause a split-brain issue. The inter-rack ring topology between EX-Series racks are shown in the following figure. -
Page 50: Star Topology
EX300 Platform By using aggregation switch(es) to connect to all the intra-rack networks, the star topology provides better protection against the split-brain issue than both the daisy chain/linear or ring topologies. With aggregation switch(es), link failures are isolated to a single intra-rack network in the private.4 network. Figure 36 Star topology The aggregation switch(es) connecting to the intra-rack networks must be set up as a trunk and allow VLAN traffic to flow between all ports in the inter-rack network. -
