17. Switch as a Single Point of failure

18. Network availability questions
+ How do you backup your network today?
• Cold spare-redundant power supply
• Spanning Tree
• Stacking, Distributed link aggregations, active-active server topologies?
+ What happens when parts of your network are down?
+ What is the cost of downtime today? And tomorrow?
+ How critical is the network uptime? Single points of failure?

26. STP:
What is the Spanning Tree Protocol
STP is a Layer 2 protocol that:
+ Gathers network info and uses it to create a logical tree
+ Deals with remediation of network changes or failures to
achieve redundancy
+ Prevents problems caused by loops on a network

Trunk
Link Aggregation is also named: port channel, Etherchannel,
link bonding or multi-link trunking

30. Link Aggregation (LAG) (802.3ad)
30
LAG 1
Several physical ports are joined together to be one
logical port with a higher bandwidth – defined by
IEEE 802.3ad industry standard
The trunk has many terms: Trunks, Aggregated
Links, Link Aggregation Groups - LAG, Channel-
group and Port-channeling
Capacity – Increased link capacity by parallel
connection of several links between two end points
Redundancy – should one cable fail the link is still up
Load balancing – traffic is dispersed across every
link in the trunk

34. NETGEAR Stacking = Virtual Chassis

35. Stacking benefits
Highly Scalable:
• Switches can be
‘stacked’ with high-
speed shared
bandwidth
• Dedicated ports for
stacking connectivity;
don’t waste valuable
user ports
• Support distance /
remote stacking needs
across multi-sites
Intelligent and Easy
Management:
• Single IP Address
management for entire
stack
• Stack-master
maintains
configuration for all
members
• Stack-master
automatically
synchronizes software
for all members
Highly Redundant
• In Ring configuration,
stack stays alive in
case of failure of any
switch
• Failover mechanism in
case master fails
• Hot swappable
solution

36. Stacking:
Limitations
+ Resources are reduced to master of the stack.
+ Proprietary solution

44. Stacking Availability
+ Stacking is all about how FAST the recovery must be
+ Stackable Smart Managed can offer ‘reduced’ downtimes
+ Stackable Fully Managed can offer NSF sub-second failovers’
+ Chassis Switches will allow for Non-Stop-Forwarding in any
situation with added predictability over stack (fixed architecture)
and more efficient N+1 power redundancy
Some applications CAN’T STAND downtimes: which ones? Collateral to come.

45. M6100 Stack
1G / 10G Switch
1G / 10G Switch
1G / 10G Switch
+ What is the difference in terms of PERFORMANCE
• M6100: interconnection between one blade and the others is 2 x 40 Gigabit/s
• Stack: interconnection between one switch and the others is 2 x 10 Gigabit/s
A stack can be blocking for the traffic.

46. M6100 Stack
1G / 10G Switch
1G / 10G Switch
1G / 10G Switch
+ What is the difference in terms of HIGH AVAILABILITY
• M6100: passive backplane, hitless failover, N+1 redundant power, software stability
• Stack: more complex software, failover might *hit*, unusual and costly RPS
M6100 just can’t go wrong, by design.
