Switch stack uplinks to network

[DH1]

I have a stack of 5 X440-48p G2 switches. I want to have a LAG uplink to the network and am wondering if the 2 ports should be on the master and backup? I configured port 1:48 & 5:48 in the LAG but node 5 is just a standby node. Should I fix the LAG so it is ports 1:48 (master) & 2:48 (backup) or does it not matter?

Thanks

The master/backup roles protect the stack itself and as long as the primary/secondary ports of your LAG are in different switches in the stack, you'll be protected.

That's what I thought, I just didn't know if it was beneficial to have them on the master and backup. Thank you for your help.

Hi, That does not matter. Any port of any node can participate in a LAG
