HA With switches

So a close up on the Edge switch there will be 2 cables coming in. 1 from Core1 and 1 from Core2.Do i need to configure something special on the switch or will modern switches just know they are coming from switches that are stacked in HA mode?
So just to confirm my thinking,
Ignoring what the Core switches will be for now. If i have one SPF+ Fibre/Copper from Core1 and other from Core2 going into the two SPF+ ports on the EdgeSwitch and i have Spanning Tree and Trunk them correctly, this should be fine?
As when i compare a Netgear S3300 48 port to the 48 port Edgeswitch there is about £300 difference (Netgear being more expensive). -
@hobbit666 Netgear's matching model would not be the S3300 but the GC752X.
Which is $500, so probably a bit cheaper again.

So is that GC752X better than the S3300?

Wouldn't it be the GC752XP model as the EdgeSwitch has PoE

It's at least the model meant to be comparable. It's much newer, as well.

If you are looking for PoE, yes.

Edgeswitches come in non PoE too.

Yeah, that's why I compared the base model.

So how did the final price comparison come out?

Any opinion on Dell all-sfp switches? The "S" series...

Doesn’t Ubiquiti have those too?

Yes, but only low density. They max out at 12 ports.

Another things that got me confused. SPF+ modules.
I can see Ubiquiti SPF+ 10G MultiMode modules are £40 odd for a 2 pack.But a Fibre module for Netgear are £200+ each
Aruba £600 odd

Just normal differences in pricing.

@scottalanmiller That's a big ass difference

Looks like about normal to me. Yes, big difference in price for the same thing.

@hobbit666 said in HA With switches:

Yup, that's how vendors typically are.
If you think that's something, compare a Ubiquiti router to a slower Cisco. You ain't seen nothin' yet.

Last I looked it was Ubiquiti $200 to a Cisco $7000. The Ubiquiti being usable, the Cisco questionable, just looking at the processors used.

SFP can be for copper or fibre. It can be active and passive with active pushing the signal further. Those are the differences between the modules IIRC.
