Hi Group, I have this scenario and wonder if it is possible to setup the topology with redundancy. I have a CAT 6509 acting as the core switch (say switch A), and 2 other CAT 6506 acting as the distribution switches (say switch B and C). Both switch B and C have fiber uplinks to core switch A. Switches A and B also have a redundant fiber between them. Regarding the hardware, The core 6509 has 2 supervisor engines with dual MSFCs. The two 6506 have only one supervisor engine and their MSFC DO NOT do routing at all.
My concern/question is that if the supervisor engine of one of the distribution 6506 died, can access switches attached to this 6506 re-route to the redundant link? I doubt this will work because the the supervisor engine of the 6506 has all the configuration (including vlans) for the ports/trunks attached to access switches died. Is there any way to to set them up so that if the supervisor engine on one distribution 6506 dies, all ports/trunks on this 6506 can still be OK with redundant link? Putting dual supervisor engines on each 6506 will be my last solution. Thanks All! Thomas N.
