GS724TS Questions
Hello: I am looking for some information from real-world experiences with the GS724TS switches. 1) How well does the HDMI "stacking" work on these? Any tips/experiences with this? 2) With HDMI...
Answers.
1) Stacking is fairly simple concept so it should be used only when you are looking for port density of single IP management. From experience, there are no issue if you use them a closet edge switches which is purpose of this switch.
2) You do use a loop for HDMI stacking. They have UP and DOWN port. UP goes to DOWN and vice version. You get 1 cable per switches and they can't be long cable. 3M max. You can loop them for sure no issues here.
3) Not recommend on these model because lower processing power. You could try it, but based on experience, it will cause heavy CPU load and you will start to see issues. Possible on Managed switches.
One way to do LACP LAG across the smart switch would to increase port density on 1 switch only. So a 4 port LAG should have 3 of its member ports on 1 switch and 1 port on another switch in the stack. Overall, I would advise against this on smart switch will limited resources.
Hope that help.
