hi,
In enterprise networks, firewalls and access switches are connected multi-homed on two stacked core switches using LACP like in the drawing below.
When adding an additional B310 in HA, this would result in full hardware redundancy: any component may fail without having an impact on the performance and reliability of the core network.
Is it possible to achieve more or less the same redundancy and performance with Peplink rugged switches as core switches? Their performance is great, but unfortunately they are not stackable. I was thinking of using RSTP to solve this issue, but the B310 doesn’t run RSTP on its LAN interfaces as it’s not considered to be a switch.
Are there any other possiblities to achieve full core hardware redundancy in the Peplink ecosystem? Thanks.
