Workshop Aggregation and Flexible Line Expansion
Shop MDFs aggregate multiple lines on 24-port/hybrid switches for moves and port growth.
1. Scenario
Flexible manufacturing reshuffles lines—aggregation needs spare ports and clean plant-core uplinks.
2. Challenges
Mixed copper/fiber; messy temporary lines; fast VLAN changes in NMS.
3. Architecture
Line-side 8GE; shop MDF 24GE/26GH; uplink to plant L3.
4. Recommended Leagrid LGS2000 products
- LGS2000-24GE4GF-M: Managed rack aggregation: 24×GE copper + 4×GE SFP for station/central-room aggregation.
- LGS2000-26GH-M: Managed hybrid-port aggregation (fiber/copper/Combo) for mixed cabling and expansion.
- LGS2000-8GE2GF-M: Managed Gigabit industrial switch: 8×GE copper + 2×GE SFP; VLAN/QoS/ring redundancy for intersection and shop-floor aggregation.
5. Deployment notes
Keep ~20% spare ports; move checklist includes config backup; physically separate guest vs line.
