This may not be possible, but it would be handy if it is... I have 4 switches on my desk, a pair of 430s running EXOS, and 2 5320s using VOSS. I have 2 laptops, and they connect just fine over the 2 430s in a VLAN, but that was just to test. I was attempting to refer to this page : Fabric Engine User Guide (extremenetworks.com)
to build out a test setup to link the 2 VOSS switches over the EXOS switches somehow to extend the fabric over. Since I am new to VOSS, and honestly relatively new to EXOS although I can now get around in it ok, they are slightly different /tongue in cheek there.
So, is this even a possibility, or would I have to use something like an XA1400 to set this up?

Hi Alex. I believe you're on the right track to consider using "Fabric Extend". Here are some detailed examples of how to make this happen.

correct .. the differences in both approaches - L2 versus L3 based Fabric Extend would be following (might not be a complete list, but important to consider):
