A superior solution: Virtual Chassis Stacking

(VCS) and Link Aggregation (LAG)

resiliency

(Virtual Chassis Stacking)

Allied Telesis now provides a superior solution for enterprise

network resiliency.

In essence, the solution is very simple: the core of the network

is a set of switches connected together to form a single virtual

chassis. In normal operation, the virtual chassis acts as a single

switch.The edge switches have dual connections to the virtual

chassis using port aggregation (as seen in figure 2).

Resiliency in this network is delivered by the virtual chassis and

the multiple links:

■

Edge switches have dual connections to the virtual chassis.This

provides resiliency in the case of broken links or failed ports.

■

Each link from an edge switch connects to different virtual chassis

members.This provides resiliency in the case of core switch

failure.
