Connecting non-stacked switch to stacked Force10
We want to add a new network for ceph storage and use stacked Force10 Switches as core switches however Force10 has limited number of ports. That is why we came up with a theory, that I tried to draw below, extending the amount of ports by using switches in dummy mode.
NRS: non-redundant switches
F10 NRS Servers A,Port40 (Subnet A) <-> K <-> Server A,Port 1 | Server B,Port 1 | B,Port40 (Subnet A) <-> L <-> Server A,Port 2 | Server B,Port 2
So with this design, what do you think can go wrong ? Or are we trying to build something really bad ?
Thank you

Hi,
I think it should work fine, it is just adding an extra layer to the network but I don’t see anything wrong with doing it that way.
