Ruckus Controller - Using Both Ports

[FN-GM]

Hi all

 

On the Ruckus controllers, can I just plug the second port into another switch port to add redundancy to the system please? Or do I have to do something in Ruckus please?

 

Thanks

What if the switch your plugged into fails? If i can do this it means i can plug into 2 switches in the stack... Just incase!

 

We have 3000 series controller

As per @DocHouse Dual Zone controllers in redundant mode would cover you in the event of switch failure anyway.

I see your point but if the switch fails chances are you'll have much bigger issues to worry about...

 

Everything else is split between switches in the stack, so if it does fail nothing else will go down. We have 2 controllers as well, but if we can use this port, might as well! Costs nothing than a little time. In the remote chance a Switch and controller fails (power going stupid or whatever) the chances of us keeping us running are increased.

 

I don't think it was expensive really. Cisco is expensive and not as good.

IIRC it's a two port switch, not two interfaces

But you might get both working as long as one gets blocked by stp correctly
