How to enable lacp here in the diagram

refer the attached diagram. I have a doubt how to give 2 fiber uplinks to ms 225 here as shown in the diagram? Is it through port channel? If so how many interfaces should be needed to participate for portchannel for each member of the stack both in 9300 model and 225 model? 

All are meraki model switches.

@13jobsp90 To provide 2 fiber uplinks to the MS225 stack as shown in the diagram, you can indeed use a port channel (link aggregation). This helps with load balancing and redundancy.

  • For the Cisco 9300 stack: You can create a single port channel with at least one interface from each 9300 switch. This provides redundancy in case one switch fails. So, you'd typically have two interfaces (one per switch) participating in the port channel.

  • For the MS225 stack: Similarly, you can configure a port channel with one uplink interface from each MS225 switch. This ensures both switches actively participate, and redundancy is maintained.

In summary, you'd need 2 interfaces on the 9300 stack and 2 interfaces on the MS225 stack (one from each switch in the stack) for the port channel. This setup provides both redundancy and efficient load distribution.

@13jobsp90 hi, if its stacked switches as you mentioned in the diagram, you can configure port channel in normal way as stacked switches are logically act like single switch. check below for Cisco catalyst and Meraki port channel creation guides..

You have two pairs of stack of SW

Use One PO with four link 

Pair1 SW1 to pair2 SW1

Pair1 SW1 to pair2 SW2

Pair1 SW 2 to pair2 SW1

Pair1 SW2 to pair2 SW2

bit confusing. can u pls explain in simple terms like how many interfaces will participate in each stack member?
