Stacking option for Cisco SG550XG (SG550XG-8F8T-K9-NA) switches

[m-laing]

Hi

Can you advise if the SG550XG-8F8T-K9-NA can be stacked with theSG500X-48-k9-NA?

The documentation available speaks to stacking of the SG500XG-8F8T-NA stacking with SG500X-48-K9, however since SG500XG-8F8T-NA  is now end of sale and has been replaced by the SG550XG-8F8T-K9-NA is this supported?

According to the data sheet this series supports lag ports as stacking ports. 

I am missing the right way how to set this up and could not find any document where it's described. 

Maybe you are familiar with this and could give me a short advice:

Thanks a lot!

Thanks to chat support: the answer is too easy:

when you create a stack and add multiple connections / links / cables, the stack will automatically use them in parallel (if they are active).

You can check the link status via cli:

regarding to https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/csbms/350xg/admin_guide/AG_Tesla_350_550.pdf:

Hybrid Stack

In Hybrid Stack mode, an SG350X device can be stacked together with an SG350XG device,

and an Sx550X device can be stacked with an SG550XG device.

To join a unit to a hybrid stack it must be first configured in Hybrid mode. This is done by

setting the Stack Mode to Hybrid Stacking in the Stack Management

page, as described

below.
