Correct, In that situation access mode should work fine for the servers.
Hello Forum, I am new to switch configurations. I've got 2 5524 switches with vlan1 (default) configured. on these switches are my vmware esx servers connected to the vm network and the LAN. one card from each esx is connected to one 5524 in case of a switch failure.   The two 5524 switches are connected to one HP backbone switch with 1 cable each. Do I have to configure something on the backbone or on the 5524 or is STP just enaugh? What is with the esx connection? Is there some special configuration neccassary or not?   Do I have to connect the two 5524 switches with each other??   hope you understand my szenario.   regards
