BlackDiamonds 8806 Stack

Cruz — Thu, 23 Jul 2015 22:59:00 GMT

Hello,

I'm about to install two BlackDiamonds, both Cores are going to have a BD 8900-40G6x-xm to connect the devices, what I'm being ask is that both cores have to work as one device, just like a stack of summit switches. Is there any way to do this without using MLAG or VRRP?

Regards!!!

Hi Cruz,

There is not an option in EXOS to bond multiple chassis like a SummitStack. The closest option would be to run these chassis as a pair of MLAG/VRRP peers.

Hi Brandon,

I guess I will use either MLAG or VRRP, since is not possible to bond chassis. Thanks for clearing my question.

Regards!!!

Hi Cruz,

please note that you can use MLAG _AND_ VRRP together.
