Hi,
Just after some "best practice" advice on the following:
We have two 3750's(3750E-24TD-S) stacked, and a 7200 w/NPE -G1 - We are wanting to connect two of the GigE ports of the NPE to both 3750's(In case one switch fails) - We currently have it setup as port-channels, which is working fine, but wanted to confirm if this was the "correct" method to achieve redundancy, and also additional bandwidth between the 3750's + 7200.
During minimal testing, we lose ~2 packets if a cable is disconnected(If the session(ping) is running over that cable) - Is there anyway to reduce this?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
