Stack and uplink ports X440 x460

Tomasz_Lubas — Tue, 09 Jun 2015 16:00:00 GMT

Hello, i need to connect two stack [2x X440-24p-10G] and [3x x460-48-10G] with core 7100 switch.
My problem is to share 10Gb ports on (x440/x460) one for stack and one for uplink - is that possible or both ports have to be stack OR uplink in the same time?

For every stack-port you can configure if it is the native stack port or the alternate port, so you could have 1 native and 1 alternate stack-port on your switch.

The x440-24-10G switch has two 10Gb ports. I need use one of them to stack and the second to act as normal data [uplink] port.

I found information that it was possible in earlier firmware version.

I don't think you can stack and uplink a X440 however you can do this on the X460-G2 and X450-G2 i believe

That is correct, the X440 will not allow you to stack with one port and use the other as a 10Gig connection. The other platforms will allow this ..
