Stacking XS708v2 and GS752TPv2
Hi everyone,
I had already a 10GB copper switch (XS708Ev2) but it did not have enough ports for the just remodeled office. So I purchased a GS752TPS . My mistake is...probably... that I haven't...
Hello Costin,
I'm sorry for the confusion, I had my mind more with the stack vs. standalone management while replying.
With an an SFP+ DAC (direct access cable) between the XS708v2 (SFP+ 1/10 GbE) and GS752TPv2 (SFP GbE only) you won't be able to establish a link - because of SFP+ and SFP does not have any speed negotiation.So if you intend to run a 10 GbE with interconnect with SFP+, the GS752TPv2 might not be the ideal choice - lack of an SFP+ port(s). I would look for a GbE switch with 10 GbE/SFP+ ports (for "uplink").

With a pair or two inexpensive SFP multimode fiber modules and a multimode patch cable, the set-up of one resp. two GbE (link aggregation) should be feasible.
Please forgive my lack of knowledge but I simply do not understand what you just suggested.
The 10Gb switch has one SFP+ port and the Gb switch 4 SFP ports. You suggest I could interconnect those somehow?

My bad again - I assumed it's a XS708T (knowing there is a XS716Tv2) ... reading there is only one SFP+ port does let me assume it's a XS708Ev2.
Still, a single GbE could be established using SFP multimode modules and a mutimode fiber patch. Not much I'm afraid.
