Network Configuration Examples Chapter 1 Overview Figure 1-4 Fault tolerance from the server racks to the core is achieved through dual homing of servers connected to dual switch stacks, which have redundant Gigabit EtherChannels and cross-stack EtherChannels. Using dual SFP module uplinks from the switches provides redundant uplinks to the network core. Using SFP modules provides flexibility in media and distance options through fiber-optic connections. The various lengths of stack cable available, ranging from 0.5 meter to 3 meters provide extended connections to the switch stacks across multiple server racks, for multiple stack aggregation.
