It depends on what your doing. Are there multiple VLANs on your DMZ? where is the firewall located in relation to these switches. If your just trying to add a second switch for disaster recovery purposes or more capacity, then just configure a trunk between the two switches with a cross over cable between them.

I am doing a direct connection between my two 3560 using fiber gbic. I have multiple private vlans and a two regular vlans. Would it be prudent to just configure a port without mapping the private vlans via the trunk and do I need a different ip address for this new switch or just a replica of my other switch. <br />
<br />
Thanks

I have a dmz switch (3560) running in our network. Now we have a single point of failure and I wish to add a second switch. I am running private-vlan scheme. I want to configure a trunk port using sfp gigabit interface. Please should I do a private vlan mapping on my trunk port. <br />
Should my primary interface on the new switch have a different ip address. <br />

DMZ SWITCH

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
