Distribution Layer April 2014

Cisco Catalyst 3750-X Stack

• Cisco Catalyst 3750-X is configured as a single unit, but has independent load-sharing power supplies

and processor for each switch in the StackWise Plus stack. The LAN architecture uses a pair of stacked

3750X-12S-E switches that provide Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching. The switches use Small Form-

Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers for a port-by-port option of copper or fiber optic Gigabit Ethernet

EtherChannel uplinks to access closets.

• Cisco StackWise Plus enables up to nine Catalyst 3750-X switches to be stacked together using a

64-Gbps stack interconnect with rapid failure recovery.

• Cisco StackPower shares power across the Cisco Catalyst 3750-X switch stack. This allows the flexible

arrangement of power supplies in the stack, and enables a zero-footprint redundant power supply

deployment and intelligent load shedding.

• Cisco 3750-X Series have modular uplinks for connectivity to the core layer at Gigabit or 10-Gigabit

Ethernet rates, and support upgrading the Cisco IOS feature set and enhanced enterprise capabilities

like TrustSec and Medianet in order to ensure that the switch functionality grows as the organization

grows.

• The Cisco Catalyst 3750-X switch stack can be used at locations where there is only a small number of

gigabit connected wiring closets that need to be aggregated.

Deployment Details

The single, logical, resilient, distribution layer deployed with this validated design simplifies the distribution switch

configuration over traditional dual system designs.

Configuring the Distribution Layer

1. Configure the platform

2. Configure LAN switch universal settings

3. Configure distribution global settings

4. Configure IP unicast routing

5. Configure IP Multicast routing

6. Configure IP Multicast RP

7. Connect to access layer

8. Connect to LAN core or WAN router

PROCESS

Procedure 1 Configure the platform

Some platforms require a one-time initial configuration prior to configuring the features and services of the

switch. If you do not have a platform listed in the following steps, you can skip those steps.
