CBS350 user ports in stack

[m.cucchi]

Hello i have a customer that request a stack with 2xCBS350-48T-4G 48-Port Gigabit Managed Switch , he bought 2 DAC 10G cable connected in 51 - 52 SPF ports..

My question is that all ports from 1 to 40 in each switch will be used for users, the PC's connected will be active ? meaning that the PC connect only to 2° switch will be active on network ?

the Ports from 41 to 40 will be dedicated for LAG toward spoke switch.

Thank you

@m.cucchi hi, can you confirm the exact switch model?

as per below link, i cant see the -4G model. if its possible in practical, all ports should be able to use as a client ports. but selected as stack.

If your switches do not support stack then you will not be able to provide the customer with a stack solution. But you still can provide a solution to the customer that uses the 2 switches connected to each other (possibly connecting on multiple ports switch to switch) and providing services to connected devices.
