I would put a redundent sup/MSFC in the chassis. It's never a good idea to
have users plugged into a core device. The only reason to do this is money
(the major driver these days)
Redundent core chassis is always the best. Consult the BCMSN book for this
design.

Subject: Disaster recovery input from pros needed :) [7:4841]
Heya,
I'm at a site right now where I we have a central Cat 6509 as core with a
couple fiber blades and 4 more 10/100 rj45 blades (ACK). This switch does
the core routing within the network. It also is the main switch for the
servers at the site. The fiber blades go out to closets with stacks of
3524's. There is also another stack of 3524's right next to the Big kitty
for workstations in the area. They have really good turnaround on the
failure of the cat6509 but I still wonder what the downtime will cost them
if the thing decides it would rather be a coffee maker. I have been
talking
to the tie wearing folks about an interim backup solution.
Im thinking in the interim of a disaster I can grab a 2620 or higher and
run
the routing on a stick I hear on this group so often. I am not sure where
to
place this router though. I can swap all the gig modles to the 3524's next
to the cat. Then from there put a router on it and do the router on a
stick.
I just don't know where exactly to put this in and how to design it. ( Im
not versed in network design of this type and quite a few others too :)
Some
ideas in this matter from the grand folks on the group would be
appreciated
indeed. Im am very interested in learning this one. Also what to do about
those 48 port modules on the Cat while it is sleeping too? Hehe. If I were
here while this was being designed I would have yelled alot more about
this
conglomerate core/distro/access thingy.
Anyway if you need drawnings of the mess or any further info I can supply
them quick like :)
Looking forward to your thoughts!
Thanks in advance.
