Mlag between x690 and x460

Mlag between x690 and x460

I am just wondering if it is wise to do a two tier mlag between two different summit models. The x690 ISC would be 100gb. The x460 isc would only be 20gb with connection to the x690 only being 10gb.

Is it wise to have two tier mlag between systems with such a disparity in bandwidth between them?

I can connect the two seperate malgs with eaps, but the solution is overly complicated in my opinion, but it works...

Hello HarryHeck,

Will either of these MLAG peers be routing? The rule of thumb for MLAG is you want the ISC to be redundant and to typically allow for the total bandwidth of the MLAG ports.

Based on what you described it sounds like you will have two x460s connected together through a 20gb ISC connection. Will the x690s have the same bandwidth for their ISC?

Would you be able to draft us a quick diagram of your intended setup?
