2 stacks lag

I need to link a 4-switches stack of S3300 to a 2-switches stack of M4300. What would be the best practices here ? Specifically, is setup a 8-ports LAG (linking each S3300 to the 2 M4300) a good idea ? I have the available ports, so I don't care if it's a bit overkill, I really want redundancy here as the M4300s are connecting our filers and our vmware hypervisors. I wonder about the performance of such a setup, though.

Model: XSM4316S | M4300-8X8FStackable Managed Switch with 16x10G including 8x10GBASE-T and 8xSFP+ Layer 3

Hi mpitech,

 

Welcome to our community! 🙂

 

It seems that you wanted to link these 2 stacks of switches. That's really a good idea on connecting it with 8-ports LAG as long as it is properly configured. I don't think that it is possible to stack both S3300 with M4300 as it is not on the same family version.

@mpitech,

 

Community member @jpass022 caught my attention on this post. He also shared an article that will help you mix stacking the S3300 and M4300 switches.

 

My apologies for overlooking on this article.
