Hi there, We would like to use Ironstack (fastiron family) to be able to create port-channels/trunks over multiple fysical switches to combat single switch failures.
However from the fastiron manual I noticed the following: "If the Active Controller fails, the Standby controller waits 30 seconds, and then takes over as Active Controller, resetting itself and all other stack members." (a controller is one switch in the stack) If this is true (and if it's in the manual it probably is) a ironstack can not be used for any redundancy configurations and we have to go with other redundancy methods. Does anyone have experience with this? Does anyone know why brocade/foundry needs to restart the stack if the master/active switch fails? Is there maybe a config option to not reset the stack? regards, Igor _______________________________________________ foundry-nsp mailing list [email protected] http://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/foundry-nsp
