4. Square / Full Mesh Topologies
4.1 Layer 2 Core & Edge
Switch Clustering configuration with two Switch Cluster Cores and dual-connected edge devices. This
topology represents a single VLAN spanning the edge devices and the Switch Cluster Cores. Multiple
VLANs can be configured on the edge devices and 802.1Q tagged to the Switch Cluster Core.
Any edge device that supports a form of Link Aggregation is supported
Spanning Tree must be disabled on the edge device(s) link aggregation group
SLT and SMLT configurations supported
