MLAG versus Stack

MLAG versus Stack

I was going through the definitions of MLAG support on Extreme Switches (670, BD8000 & BDX8) and link aggregation on stacked switches (All summit) and wondering to understand the difference between these two. If I am proposing X460 in a place where customer is asking for MLAG support or Dual-Home Link (Alcatel Lucent), can I work around with stacking option of X460 to overcome MLAG limitation.

Second question, when I am seeing the XOS data sheet it is showing MLAG support throughout the switching portfolio except X430 whereas when I am viewing individual data sheets and Data Center Solution Guide, I am only able to find MLAG on X670, BD8k & BDX8. Please clarify the difference between these two as well.

What?! I think you have made a mistake? Did you enable stacking?

Looking at your second question, I believe you need better than an edge license for mlag. 460s come with edge but can be upgraded. Check the license guide to make sure.
