Medium-Sized Network Using Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X Switches
Figure 1-7 and Figure 1-8 show a configuration for a network of up to 500 employees. This network uses
a Catalyst 3750-X-only Layer 3 switch stack or Catalyst 3560-X Layer 3 switches with high-speed
con
nections to two routers. For network reliability and load-balancing, this network has HSRP enabled
on the routers and on the switches. This ensures connectivity to the Internet, WAN, and mission-critical
network resources in case one of the routers or switches fails. The switches are using routed uplinks for
faster failover. They are also configured with equal-cost routing for load sharing and redundancy. (When
the network uses Catalyst 3750-X switches, a Layer 2 switch stack can use cross-stack Et
herChannel for
load sharing.)
The switches are connected to w
orkstations, and local servers, and IEEE 802.3af compliant and
noncompliant powered devices (such as Cisco IP Phones). The server farm includes a call-processing
server running Cisco CallManager software. Cisco CallManager controls call processing, routing, and
Cisco IP Phone features and configuration. The switches are interconnected through Gigabit interfaces.
