stacking s3300 with a fibre uplink to an XS716
I am upgrading our old 3x GS748TS and 1x GS724TS HDMI stacked switches to a 10Gb infrastructure. Our pair of servers are now 10Gb (rather than the outgoing quad LAG 1Gb). I intend to replace our c...
Had a chat with netgear (which is what I probably should have done!). The switch comes with 48 1Gb-T ports, 2 10G-T and 2 10G SPF. All can be used simultaneously. If the copper 10G *and* the 10G SPF are set as "stacking" (to stack to other S3300) then ONLY the SPF will pass data, the copper will be redundancy.
If the copper are set to STACK and the SPF are set to ETHERNET then the copper will stack and the SPF will pass data as normal. In effect you can do what I want: S3300 stack using copper alone (in a ring) and uplink/downlink out of the stack using the SPF.
should be noted that the SPF can take 10Gb modules only - older 1Gb modules wont work.

Well, datasheet actually says "dedicated", so they don't seem to be combo as they are on other NETGEAR switches after all. I'll let other people confirm.
Sorry if I gave misleading info ;)
