Hello,
First off, let me say that I'm no network expert, which I'm sure will become clear! Any suggestions and help with the following would be great.
I have a MX router and a non-meraki switch stack (Dell). There are several VLANs configured on the MX and I have a dedicated access port on the MX for each. There is also a single trunk port (all VLANs) on the MX. This trunk port is connected to a port on the switch stack.
As I understand it, any inter-VLAN traffic needs to flow out of (and back into) the stack via the router, which is working fine. However, it has introduced a single point of failure - the trunk link between the MX and the stack. If we lose the stack member that has this link then we lose inter-VLAN and Internet bound traffic.
How can I configure this so that there are redundant links between the MX and multiple stack members so that, should we lose one member, connectivity continues? Is it as simple as creating another trunk port on the MX to another switch? If so, how does the MX decide which path to use?
I hope that makes sense.
Thanks,
Mr P.
