I tend to support Aki in this one. Running a Layer 2 network with STP is a headache and this is why many providers prefer to run SDH networks. If you have good quality gear, 60 vlans i quite a big network for a corporate setting so L3 would be best. If the gear does not support layer 3 then MSTP would be a good way to go although HSRP is also equally good, depends on what you are most confortable doing. Just a word of advise, if there is a way you can avoid STP please do :) David On Sun, Feb 26, 2012 at 11:49 PM, aki <aki275@gmail.com> wrote:
Hey @Mburu, just a question from rustic knowledge from me. I assume this is some serious segmentations taking place, why don't you use layer 3 segmentation at the core rather than the run datalink layer on the entire network? The switches running BP will produce too many points of failure. IMHO. :-)

Hahaha nope its not my home network but an entire cooperate network with around 60 vlans. Core-switch is Cisco 6513 so its pretty serious network.
If i chose PST, which of the earlier commands leads to faster convergence?
Note: I also have HSRP setup.
