We have two offices located across the hall from each other.
There is a Cisco SG500-28P in each office ( frm: 1.4.7.6) We have 2 cat6 runs between the offices which interconnect the switches (LAG) Every night we push over 50Gb of data from one office to another.
We are considering another stacking switch for the main office as we are maxed out and looking forward to get away from LAG uplink ports.
Questions:
Can we create a loop using the stacking ports for redundancy?
SG500-28P in the remote office will get connected to the sG500-28P in the main office and a new SG500-28 via stacking ports, additionally we would connect SG500-28 to SG500-28P in the main office creating a loop.
Does STP apply to stacking ports?
Can we use RJ45 Copper SFP Transceiver Modules for stacking? Could someone post the compatible Cisco part numbers?
Thank you
