Unless you use multiple vlans, you can not use both of your uplinks. You should consider using vlan other then 1. If you would like to use both uplinks you need to create multiple vlans for the access/distribution switch. Of course, this will only distribute traffic between the two links. You will have to modify spt characteristics to make this happen.

Is it possible to route from your access layer?

Subject: Switching design question

Guys

I have a design question

I'm going to use L2 links between one of my new 3750 stacks to the two core
switches. The entire 3750 stack (5 switches) is set to vlan1. I'm going to
have a single 1GB link connecting from the top and bottom member of the
stack into CoreA and CoreB and this would provide redundancy but I would
also prefer to load-balance over these. If I had separate VLAN's running on
this switch, I could have done so with STP priority distributing VLAN's over

each of these 2 links but that's not the case here

I also cannot do Etherchannel since I'm terminating on two different core
switches.

Any solution to this problem?
Thank you
