Hi !
I planned to install redundant Cisco equipments on my Lan. I would like you to give me your opinion about my configuration. Thank you in advance
I have 2 backbone switches on my LAN. CATALYST 4510R.
For active redundancy, i configured first the vtp mode.
4510_prod and 4510_backup are vtp servers in the same domain. the 4510_prod has a bigger revision version. The synchronization works fine.For virtual ip addresses, i configured HSRP
For example:
4510_PROD:interface Vlan50 description VLAN TEST ip address 10.33.150.252 255.255.255.0 no ip redirects no ip proxy-arp standby 50 ip 10.33.150.1 standby 50 priority 100 standby 50 preempt
4510_BACKUP:interface Vlan50 description VLAN TEST ip address 10.33.150.253 255.255.255.0 no ip redirects no ip proxy-arp standby 50 ip 10.33.150.1 standby 50 priority 10
For Spanning-Tree, i think the better way is to install MST mode on all my Cisco switches.
I defined 4510_prod as root and my 4510_backup as secondary root (for backup)
For 4510_prod:
Spanning-tree mst configuration Name TEST Revision 1 Instance 1 vlan 1-999 Spanning-tree mst 1 priority 4096
Question: Does i Need to configure the same thing on all my other switches on my LAN? By default, PVST is active.
I cannot delete instance 0. It is normal?
Thank you very much for your help
Greetings
