SR2348P switch as a core switch?

nsimons — Mon, 23 Jul 2018 21:44:28 GMT

I just purchased some SR2348P switches to replace decade old HP switches. One of my HP switches was set up as a core switch that did a lot of VLAN routing (I have about 9 VLANS that need routing). I'm being told that my new Aerohive switches are not capable of functioning as a core switch. I'm not seeing many setting in my Hive interface but was wondering if I get more settings if I get into the console? Or like I said....is it even possible?

It isn't recommended to use these switches as your core switch. It would technically be possible to configure this via the CLI and supplemental CLI, but this would not be a supported set up and you'd be subjected to all kinds of problems that a normal set up would not encounter. You would also not have as much visibility since the GUI doesn't support this, so it isn't generally recommended.

As much as I love our 2348s, I wouldn't consider using them in the core.

Your answers are what I expected. So lucky for me, everything that my core switch did before can be handled in my new firewall. Thanks for your help!
