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.
