Hi guys, i am planning some upgrades to my network and i am just looking to see if what i am doing is as recommended.
The network isnt huge and i am mainly a sysadmin. So hopefully i am planning this right.
Currently my network is made up of 6x N3048p for users and 2x N3024 for servers. These are all in a stack ring topology.
I do have VLANs set up for isolation etc.
I have 2 other switches in my blade chassis, which are in a stack. These connect via an SFP+ cable to each of the N3024 switches for the servers set up as a Trunk so VLANs can pass between switches. It looks like this https://ibb.co/hsTmX0
What i am proposing to do is to break all my stacks and rebuild it like so https://ibb.co/fGwZKf
Now rather than having just 1 switch sit between all the lower switches each switch would connect to 2 switches at the top level, which also connect to eachother and would perform the access between servers / clients.
Is this a better setup that would allow for better expansion in the future? Should i be looking at a different sort of setup?
Any advice and/or feedback is appreciated!
Edit - ignore the arrow directions in the pictures, they are meant to be bi-directional.
