Trunk port (mixing copper & fiber)
I'm adding a new or additional trunk port using a newly installed fiber backbone from GS724Tv4 to GS728TP. The pre existing trunk is cat 6. I'm adding the fiber for a more robust performance. MY QUESTION IS "can I use both the pre existing cat 6 and fiber for a trunk port? Or it has to be all copper or all fiber?
Same speed, similar latency, same duplex ... so copper and fiber GbE should be fine on a LAG.
