High availability scenarios
These two Cores serve as the Core High Availability solution. The Sentry setup serves the same purpose, but unlike the Cores, they can be configured in Active/Active or Active/Standby configuration.

If the internal state of one supervisor module is Active with HA standby and of the other supervisor module is HA standby or vice-versa, the switch is operationally HA and can do automatic
High Availability
High availability minimizes link and node failures to minimize downtime by implementing link and node redundancy, providing alternate paths for traffic, and avoiding single points of failure.
should core switch be stacked
Stacking switches is not akin to an HA pair. Stacking turns multiple switches into a single unit for management and provides improved throughput across the switches.
Mission Critical Systems L3 Core Switch HA
In this lab, we will use HSRP protocol to create high availability for our topology using two core switches as primary and secondary (backup) in case of a failure. By this way, we will avoid
Cisco core switches high availability
For high availability you will need to enable spanning tree protocol on all switches (core, distribution & access). You will need to configure a root bridge which could be the original core
High Availability Configuration Guide
Provides a faster switchover relative to high system availability. Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest caveats and feature information, see Bug
Solved: High availability with switch stack
Say you have 2 switches stacked in your core, and 5 switches (not stacked) at the access later, you would need to connect your uplinks from each access switch to both core switches to take
