3550 cluster

[jkurry]

I have 6 3550 switches that will have our server farm connected to it,

(Approx 90 Win servers), These 3550 switches will connect to our 6505 core switch.

Which is the most effective way to connect these switches to the core,

1) cluster all 6 3505 switches

or

2)connect each 3550 with a GIG connection to the core.

If you have a stack the 3550's and connect it to your core using one link and if it breaks you would loose all your servers:-) and also you might saturate the link. It's definetely a good idea to connect each 3550 with a GIG connection to the core.
