This section shows some network examples that illustrate how you can
set up your network for optimum performance using some of the
features supported by your Switch.
Improving the
Resilience of Your
Network
Figure 24
shows how you can set up your network to improve its
resilience by enabling Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). Aggregated links
have also been setup from the Core Switch, this increases the bandwidth
available for the backbone connection, and also provides extra resilience.
