SG550x Switches

[Fotiosmark]

Hello,

I was wondering, since I couldn't find anything practical online, I have ordered 2 550x brand new. I want to stack them and connect with Port-Channel to an ASA, one interface to Switch1 and the other to Switch2.

Once Stacked, I supposed PortChannel will work right? Or would it need to support VPCs? (virtual PortChanels)

Hello,

that should work. Once the 550s are stacked, they operate as a single unit, and you can assign any port to the respective LAG.

Hi,
expected!
Can I stack the SG550x with a copper interface or do I really need to use and SFP for the stacking?

"Using standard 10G fiber or copper connections, the Cisco 550X Series supports both local and horizontal stacking deployments and the flexibility of ring or chain topology. The switches also have the capability to use link aggregation port as the stacking port, providing even higher stacking bandwidth for demanding applications."
