Catalyst WS-C3850-48XS-E Stackwise virtual link with 40g uplinks

[marco.calabresi1]

Good Morning,

For the Catalyst WS-C3850-48XS-E I would like to know if I configure two, of the 4 available, 40g interfaces  for the Stackwise Virtual Link, Can the remaining two be used for normal network connections ?

In short, the use of two 40G interfaces for S.V.L. does not limit the possibility of using the other two available for networks uplinks ?

Thnx

Bye

Hello,

That is correct. You can use two for stackwise virtual and the other two for general purpose. You can not use the uplinks for dual active detection:

Hope that helps!

AFAIK you can use it, also stackwise virtual configuration guide does not have any such limitation listed
