What is a Campus?

Campus is where USERS access the network The Campus connects devices used by employees such as Desktop Computers,

Laptops & VOIP phones and communicates with network resources such as

Printers, Projectors and Voice & Video Endpoints, and also provides access to

the Data Center, Branch Offices and the Internet

Campus integrates Wired & Wireless access The Campus connects devices used by employees over both Wired & Wireless

Ethernet, and also provides capabilities such as Power Over Ethernet (POE).

For example, a Laptop or Smart Phone may connect to a Wireless AP, powered

by POE, which connects to a Wired Campus Switch

Campus needs Application Visibility & Control The Campus connects many different types of devices, using many different

types of applications. These applications range from Email, to File Transfer, to

Web Services, to Video Conferencing. Each type requires specialized monitoring

and configuration capabilities to manage Security and Quality of Service

Campus Multi-Tier Models Design Considerations

• Few Small to Medium-Bandwidth LAN Uplinks

• Network Virtualization: VLANs, STP, FEX, etc.

• Integrated Wired / Wireless & Power Over Ethernet

• L2 Security, QoS & Flexible Netflow (AVC)

• Many Small to Medium-Bandwidth LAN Downlinks

• Few MAN (High-Band) or WAN (Low-Band) Uplinks

• Network Virtualization: MPLS, VPLS, etc.

• Internal & External Autonomous Systems

• Large IPv4 / IPv6 Routing Tables

• Layer 3 Security, QoS & Flexible Netflow (AVC)

• Few High-Bandwidth LAN Downlinks

• Few High-Bandwidth LAN Uplinks

• Network Virtualization: EVN, VRF-Lite, VLANs, etc.

• Integrated Services (WiSM2, ASA-SM, NAM-3)

• Medium IPv4 / IPv6 Routing Tables

• L2 / L3 Security, QoS & Flexible Netflow (AVC)

• Many Small to Medium-Bandwidth LAN Downlinks

Three “Logical” Layers: • Each layer serves a specific set of functions

• Each layer has a specific set of requirements

If you “collapse” layers,

your multi-layer switch needs to

support all logical functions

(SSO – Active)

In-Chassis Active

In-Chassis Standby [Standby Hot (Chassis)]

In-Chassis Standby [Standby Hot (Chassis)]

STANDBY HOT (CHASSIS) is a new redundancy mode created for the VSS ICS Supervisor

STANDBY HOT (CHASSIS) mode allows the ICS Supervisor to operate in a separate RF/CF (SSO) Domain,

while maintaining the Traditional RF/CF (SSO) Domain between VSS chassis.

Instant Access support for VSS Quad-Sup SSO with 6807-XL was added in 15.1(2)SY2

Resiliency - StackWise-480/160

• Improved Stack Bandwidth:

• 240 Gbps bi-directional

• 480 Gbps with spatial reuse

• Stateful Switch Over (SSO):

• Faster Convergence (vs 3750-X)

• Active-Standby model

• Improved Central synchronization on Active Switch for Wired+Wireless

• Tunnel SSO ensures AP, MA-MC connectivity during failover

• No Backward Compatibility with 3750 series

Complexities

Sub-optimal

TCO

• Segmented Networks (Wired and Wireless)

• Network blind spots

• Separate security and QoS policies for Wired and

Wireless

• Differentiated network policies for Wired and Wireless

• 2X Troubleshooting efforts

• Multiple failure points

• Scalability depends on WAN/network bandwidth

• L3 roaming limitations

• More devices to manage and service

• Expensive and excessive WAN usage

• Business impact due to WAN failure

Solution

Optimal TCO

• Single platform for wired and wireless

• Better network auditing for applications

• Single point of configuration for both Wired and Wireless

• Consistent policies for service control including AVC

• Improved network control (Fair Sharing)

• Higher network bandwidth at the edge (802.11ac and

40G)

• Scalable as needed

• Business Continuity with or without WAN

• Less devices to manage and service

• Smart & optimal use of WAN bandwidth

• Faster Troubleshooting
