How to do a Virtual Chassis with x460

asotorrios — Tue, 04 Dec 2018 19:08:45 GMT

Hi,

i'm a starter with this brand and I can't seem to find this information:

I have to make a network with a double star topography, there are two x460 switches that make the CORE and they need to have the virtual chassis functionality so they work as one and the other switches(x440) connect to them via aggregated links.

I can't find what is the way to do this with the cores, all I found was the Virtual switch bonding, but it seems like its not allow in this devices.

Any recomendations?

Thanks

The term "Virtual Chassis" fits more with EXOS stacking. Stacking is simple but MLAG is a better design as you can do hitless upgrades of the x460s. Let us know if you have any questions.
