New Campus Upgrade Phase II
The newly proposed architecture will be based on the
Cisco’s three-layer architecture: Core, Distribution and
Access. Access switches will provide entry point for
the users across the campus and these switches will
connect to the respective Distribution switches. All the
Distribution layer switches will connect to the Core

switches with multiple 40Gbps links. The new Cisco
Nexus 7710 switches with redundant supervisors will
be configured as Campus core switches and will have
modules with 48-port 1/10Gig ports. These Core switches
will be aggregation point of multiple Distribution
switches to ensure the interconnectivity between
multiple distribution layers. Distribution switches will
connect to the core layer by multiple 40Gig links and will
run routing between Core & distribution layers. Routing
protocol will be OSPF to ensure the IP reachability
between all the layers across the campus.
