Model: OC400  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: na

Setting up my new network and need some advice on the connection 

 

In order from Internet coming in 

 

Fiber

Firewall

SX3008F

Oc400

 

The firewall is connected to one of the SFP+ ports and the Oc400 is connected to the sx3008f, then from the sex3008f that connects to all my other switches.

 

Does the oc400 need to be connected direct to a port on the firewall so it does not depend on the sc3008f?  Can I leave the 400 connected via sx3008f and to the firewall.   What the best option here?

 

Thank you

It doesnt matter, as long as the OC400 is connected to any port, anywhere, that has your management vlan set as native (access port), it will work.

 

In my experience its better to have it as high up the chain as possible - as if its on the last switch in a chain, it can temporarily lose coms during scheduled reboots, switch reboots, etc.  I prefer to have mine on my core switch, not the gateway
