Appendix B—Building and Configuring Switches
Where do I put my core switches? Core switches should reside in racks that contain no hosts
and at most one additional core switch. Racks for core
switches should have side panels removed. Rack space
immediately to the left and immediately to the right of all
core switches should be vacant because cables will feed out
from the core switches into this space. If you must rack core
switches next to one another, stagger them to provide the
required cable space (see Figure 17).
Figure 17 Staggered Core Switches in Racks
Avoid having hosts, switches, or other devices reside in rack
space immediately to the left or right of any core switch.
