I'm not a CCNP but have maintained my CCNA for a while so please be gentle
I'm being tasked with some minor network tasks at my position as a system administrator and am running into something new. We have an existing 9500-48y4c and I was provided a second to extend our ports to 96. I was told I can "stack" them??
So I did a bunch of reading and you-tube to learn what stacking is and why. Nice! The problem is that everything says to use one of the 4 uplink ports (which I think are 40G/100G?) to stack them. I asked where the cables were for this - from the provider of the switch - and was told to "use the the 10/25G sfp’s to uplink to the other 9500 on the regular SFP+ ports. No 100G QSFP’s or cables were ever procured".
So my question is, can I do that and how? Should I just pick port 1/48 and then what would the configuration be for that interface? If there is a doc/online reference for accomplishing this, please point me there and I'm happy to do my own research but everything I've found so far ONLY reference the QSFP's and the uplink ports.
Thanks!!!
