I recently did an infrastructure build for a small company that wanted to break off their parent company’s network.
It goes 1Gig fiber modem, CAT6 uplink to sonicwall firewall, and then here’s where my question lies:
The consultant chose to use two Cisco SG small business smart switches. There are 24 active CAT5e ports. 12 of these poets go to switch one, 12 of them go to switch two, “for redundancy”.
The switches are uplinked together and one of them obviously gets the feed from the firewall.
Why would he do this? Doesn’t it make more sense to use one switch as an access switch and another as a distribution switch?
Am I poisoned by Cisco enterprise studies?
