This document discusses the design options of the VCStack network solution, including gigabit and 10/100 Ethernet, PoE and non-PoE, copper and fiber, non-blocking and blocking ratios, etc. Additionally, it presents the advantages of the VCStack technology solution and provides a configuration example.
The document introduces a resilient network solution for small and medium enterprises created by combining Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack) and Link Aggregation. It emphasizes that the solution is not tied to a specific set of products or connectivity design, offering flexibility to meet different price points and performance requirements.
Seven specific example configurations are detailed to demonstrate the range of applications supported. These options cover scenarios such as high-performance gigabit access, cost-effective designs, fiber connectivity, long-distance stacking for multi-building campuses, and various Layer 3 edge/core arrangements.
The advantages are presented in the 'VCStack - Powerful Simplicity' technology solution, and an example configuration is detailed in the 'VCStack x900 Tested Solution'.
No, this solution is not tied to a particular set of products or to a specific connectivity design.
The applications include Data Centre, Hospital, and Enterprise with high LAN bandwidth requirements.
