Best Stacking Topology Between X770 and X670

[Mrxlazuardin]

Hi,

Which one is better of following?

1. Stacking with SummitStack-320 for all of two X770 and two X670 where Master configured only for one of two X770
2. Two X770 and two X670 stacked separately with SummitStack-160 and connect both stacks with bonded 4x 40GbE link

Best regards,

Hi Alexandr,

Connecting all switches on single SummitStack-320 or having all switches on separate SummitStack-160 with 4x 40G bonded connection between both stacks will consume same port number. So, which one is better?

Hi!

It's depends from your topology, type of traffic and etc.

Thank you!

Hi Andrew,

I really understand about that table but I still don't get it in relation to my question. My main question is about to see if separating two X770 and two X670V/X670-G2 into two stacks is better or worst idea than connecting them all into single stack since all of them support SummitStack-320 and SummitStack-160.

Best regards,

Hi!

It's depends from your goals.
If you need more ports - then it can be single stack.
If you need more performance - you need separate stacks (In case - stack X770 with X670V).

If stack X770 with X670-G2 - you can use single stack.
If stack X770 with X670-V - you can see stack performance degradation
