tree attributes, Instance 1 & 2 for link A, B, D, and E should be blocked at the core and at the HP PC
Blade Switch instead of at the aggregation switches.
•
Optionally, you can use IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation in various combinations with this sample
topology to enhance performance and link level redundancy.
If you want to maintain optimum network performance after a network failover has occurred,
consider creating two logical LAGs, one with ports e43 & e44, the other with ports e45 & e46.
Since a well designed network rarely fails, you could configure the primary forwarding connection to
include ports e43 - 44 and either port e45 or e46 to for a single high performance link. You could
use the remaining FastEthernet port (e42) as the failover link that when active will operate with
degraded performance.
•
When designing complex disaster recovery networks that use multiple cores, an additional layer of
aggregation switches could be connected over the two remaining uplinks.
