40gb Ethernet - M4300 12X12F Stacking Aggregation
We are building a storage solution for my client. I would like to know if it's possible to achieve 40gb aggregation between the 2 M430012X12F? Does this mean I just need to use 4 fiber port of each s...
Hi joeyang
You are correct!
4 x 10G SFP+ ports in stacking mode on each switch gives you 4 x 10G = 40Gbps unidirectional bandwidth (speed) across both switches through the stacking interconnect. This is stricly full duplex, so this is considered as 80Gbps bidirectional bandwidth as well.
6 x 10G SFP+ in stacking mode on each switch gives you 6 x 10G = 60Gbps unidirectional bandwidth (speed) across both switches through the stacking interconnect. This is stricly full duplex, so this is considered as 120Gbps bidirectional bandwidth as well.
Please share about your project and your installation!

Hello LaurentMa
Thank you for the quick reply.
Let me digest abit your reply. If I have 4 SFP+ ports and configure the "Stack mode" that means I should have 40G speed between the 2 switch right? If I used 6 SFP+ ports to be stack mode than i should have 60G speed between the 2 switch is that right?
Thanks
