I have a traditional Cisco HSRP setup with two Cisco6509E acting as the core. Now we are going to replace those 2 Cisco 6509E with 2 MS425. I am trying to figure out if I should use stacking or VRRP. Option1, physical stack with 2*MS425 Option2, VRRP between two MS425 If I do option2, I guess the network topology is simply a one-to-one replacement from Cisco6509 to MS425. From what I understand, the VRRP can not be created between the stacked switch. So, that means the VRRP can only be done between 2 of MS425. I only have 32 SFP+ on each of them. What if I need more SFP+? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If I do option1, I can stack these two MS425 like the topology. So my question here is, do I get redundancy like VRRP from the core stack? My understanding is the STACK has one IP that will be acting as the L3 gateway. So if one of the switches in the stack failed, is the L3 gateway still be working fine? Thank you everyone.
