I need to add a new 10G switch to a stack of M5300 switches (M5300-28G3, M5300-52G3 and GSM7328Sv2h2). I saw that the M4300 line is the successor of the M5300 models. Is it possible to mix M5300 and M4300 switches in the same stack? If not, are there other 10G switches (16, 24 or 48 10G ports) wich can be added to the M5300 stack?
Thanks for using the M5300 switches, the ancestors of current M4300 switches. The transition notification can be found in the attachment.
Unfortunately, no it won't be possible to add an M4300 switch to an M4300 stack. Either you can start over a new M4300 stack, or just LAG to an external M4300 switch.
I don't know where you are located, but feel free to send me a Private Message here, with your contact details: I can ask the local NETGEAR Sales team and the local NETGEAR Sales Engineer to contact you, and find an acceptable upgrade path for starting a new M4300 stack and replace your M5300 models. M4300 line is great for mixed 1G and 10G stacking topologies, including line-rate spine & leaf architectures.

thank you very much for your response. We decided to connect the new M4300 through LAG without stacking for the moment. Everything is up and running fine so far.
