Industrial Networks – Layer 2 Resilient Protocols

The focus of the lunch and learn session was on Industrial Network design specifically focusing on Layer 2 protocols. This session is one of several focused on Industrial Network architecture and best practices.

Topics included:

• What are Layer 2 protocols?

• Examples of Cisco proprietary Layer 2 protocols:​

• Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP)

• Flex Links?

• Guidelines and topologies for using REP and Flex Link

The training included an interactive lab used to demonstrate the resiliency of Flex Links and REP protocols. This hands on session generated lots of great questions that reinforced the EOSYS team’s understanding of Layer 2 resiliency.
