Split Switch

Tue Jun 18, 2019 12:37 am

Enable a single Netonix switch to act like two or more separate switches. Separating VLAN's, broadcast and Spanning Tree domains. Netonix are great for powering backhaul radios, but you end up with a large spanning tree domain.

Not sure what your saying but I split my switches all the time.

I'm saying that all switches connected to your Netonix switch either directly or through a backhaul link (a bridge) will interact via spanning tree. As the spanning tree gets large it becomes unstable. A way to avoid this is to put each backhaul radio on a separate switch and connect the lot with a router. Or we can have Netonix create separate spanning tree instances on separate virtual switches (and a router).

You need to use MSTP that support several region but it's still beta. If you mean PVST+, it's Cisco propritary.

ERPS, also in beta, is an other available option with fast convergence but it's 3 switchs minimum in a ring and more dangerous (less plug and play).

When do we expect MSTP that support several regions?

The feature is available. You can test and reporting bugs but don't use it in production until your confident in your setup.
