Figure 17-5: Valid Common VLAN Configuration
This configuration is similar to the previous configuration, except there is a common VLAN
(VLAN 1) between the two sets of LACP ports.
Figure 17-6: Redundant Link Architecture with RSTP and LACP
In the architecture above, using RSTP and LACP allows multiple switches to be configured
together in meshed redundant link architecture. First define the RSTP Configuration on the
switches. Then define the LACP ports. Then finally connect the ports together to form the
meshed redundant link topology as shown above.
Using the Magnum edge switch with dual-homing allows the edge devices to have link
level redundancy as well – bringing the fault tolerance from the network to the edge.
