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.
