Cisco 2960 Catalyst Switches
How to better connect Cisco three 2960-S Switches.
what's the best/recommended and most reliable/fastest way to connect my 3 Cisco 2960-S switches?
I work with a home automation company that needs the most reliable network possible since the entire house relies on the network/wireless.
i have a Fortigate 60C as my main router, 5 Ruckus 7363 APs and 1 Cisco 2960-S PoE and 2 Cisco 2960-S Catalyst Switches.
All 3 swtiches are located in 3 different parts of the house and are connected via CAT6 from the main 2960-S PoE on port 23 and 24 to switches in Living and Theater respectively.
i know this swtiches have 4 SFP ports?
can i get an adapter form SFP to CAT6e or CAT5?
is there an advantage to configuring a port role depending on what's connected on each port?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
thanks
