MEC in SG500

[Nuno Castro]

Hi;

Anyone knows if SG500 support Multichassis Etherchannel (MEC)?

There is any other SMB Switch that suppor it?

Best Regards

MEC is implemented on Catalyst 6500 through VSS. Which removes the need for HSRP.  So the answer is no, only 6500 supports MEC.

However, you may have a stack of SG500 switch with a LAG constructed across stack members that unified connect to another switch outside of the stack

Example being-

Switch unit 1 port 1 - lag member

Switch unit 2 port 1 - lag member

Standalone switch port 1 and 2 - lag member
