I have two M430012x12F switches that I want to connect together, but I don't want to stack them.
The one (Master) is in the server room and is stacked with an M430016X, the other will reside at the end of fiber run (10G) in remote room.
When I first set up the M430016X in the server room I tried trunking it with the M430012x12F without success. It wasn't until I stacked them that they started trading traffic.
Now, when I go to connect the second M430012x12F in an MDF room, I want it to trunk to the stack but not be a member of the stack. How would I go about this configuration?
The firmware version all switches are running is 12.0.13.8.
Current stack configuration:

Model: XSM4324S|M4300-12X12F - Stackable Managed Switch with 24x10G including 12x10GBASE-T and 12xSFP+ Layer 3
Now, when I go to connect the second M430012x12F in an MDF room, I want it to trunk to the stack but not be a member of the stack. How would I go about this configuration?
You can connect the second M430012x12F via LAG to the existing stack. Let me share these articles below as reference guide:
