Hello.
I am considering a 2970 as the core switch on our single sunbnet network with about 75 total nodes. There is considerable traffic between the servers and we would like to keep that traffic seperated from our workgroup, which on occasion, is overwhelming.
I want to verify that there would not be a problem with this switch interacting with several Dell unmanaged layer2 switches we currently have in place as 'closet' switches distributing data to several different workgroups. Here is the setup I am considering...several main servers and other switches plugged into the 2970...
Catalyst 2970
- server
- server
- server
- dell switch
-workgroup pc
-workgroup pc
-workgroup pc
- dell switch
-workgroup pc
-workgroup pc
Please advise if this would be a workable solution and would eliminate the unwanted traffic on the workgroups.
Thanks.
