Best practices LAN connextions, MS425 and MS225

[SteveLandon]

I haven't been able to determine what is the best practice for connecting the main LAN connection to:

1. MS225-48  Stack, 7 switches,   current connection.

2. MS426-16 Stack, 2 switches.

  Is there any advantage or preference to connection the LAN feed to the MS425-16 instead of to the MS225 stack.  I inherited 2 locations where it was set up this way.  The LAN in both instances is being fed from a dual Sonicwall with HA ms120-8 switch.   Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I would assume the MS-425s are your core and the MS225’s are your edge.  By design I would be connecting by end user endpoints to the edge as this is where you implement your NAC, QoS and security policies as close to the user as possible.
