Dual ethernet port AP600-series configuration best practices

  • 1.  Dual ethernet port AP600-series configuration best practices

    Posted 3 hours ago

    When cabling AP-635 and AP-655 indoor switches to utilize both ethernet ports, attached to a four-node CX 6300M switch stack VSF, what are the configuration best practices?   I am assuming an InstantOn configuration utilizing 8.0.10.13 as a minimum firmware rev.

    I would prefer to cable each AP ethernet port to a different physical switch so that if a switch goes down, the other remaining AP port will be functional.

    Ideally, I would like to utilize the 2.5G - 5G bandwidth of each AP ethernet port to get the most of the 6300M bandwidth available for less-than 100m short-runs utilizing CAT6A 10G capable cabling.

    If I configure an LACP group on the switches that will give me primary/backup capability, are there options in the CX LACP configuration to utilize active-active so that both AP ports can be active simultaneously?

    Is there anything special that needs to be configured on the AP end to take advantage of active-active?

    Thanks
