Re: [foxboro] Mesh Root Switches Required?

Even with only two switches you still uplink them to each other
We used 100Meg ports but would probably change to 1G uplinks if we grow
past two switches
5 or 7 ?? is the maximum in a ring without root switches

Subject: [foxboro] Mesh Root Switches Required?

Looking over all the DIFFERENT information out there, and talking to =3D
some Foxboro reps last week, we're still a bit confused. Is there a =3D
large difference between a Mesh setup with a dedicated Root pair with =3D
nothing but uplink ports vs. not having dedicated root switches and =3D
living with the few 1G uplink ports on the normal switches (edge =3D
switches)?  We can easily get by without the need for the root switch 1G
=3D ports, and because of the layout of our facility, it would cost us a =
=3D
significant amount of cabling for each edge pair to touch the roots, and
=3D if we did NOT make each pair touch the roots, then the extra 1G uplin=
k
=3D ports would serve us no purpose.=3D20

Just trying to get a handle on all this. Thanks.
