Hi folks –
The following was submitted in the Switches forum, but I’m hoping for a second opinion:
I’ve been given a project to move vlans from our Core 6509s to the DL switches (3750s, etc. MLSs) in various closets, and have read two different ways of doing this. My question is which way is generally preferred.
The aspect I’m concerned with is the DL to Core connections. One way to connect is to configure point-to-point links between the DL and Core switches, with EIGRP or OSPF load-balancing between the cores. The other way is to configure a single vlan on the cores for all the various DL links going to the cores.
The second way seems odd to me, but I’ve seen it in at least a couple of publications.
Any thoughts on this?
Thank you
