Datacenter Core Switch Stacking & Link Aggregation (LACP)
Switch Stacking LACP (802.3ad) FortiSwitch Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Fiber Uplinks
Datacenter Core Switch Stacking & Link Aggregation (LACP)
Architected a resilient network distribution core by stacking physical switches into unified high-speed logical switch backbones.
Key Features & Implementation
- Hardware Backplane Stacking: Grouped core switches using dedicated high-speed stacking cables to share unified control planes.
- Multi-Chassis LACP Trunking: Configured cross-stack LACP link aggregation channels to distribute traffic across physical switch units.
- Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP) Tuning: Hardened RSTP BPDU Guard and Root Guard settings to prevent rogue switch insertion loops.
