Is Cisco Nexus C93180YC-FX 'stackable'?

[Scott Appel]

I need to connect a new, second Cisco Nexus C93180YC-FX off an original (in production) due to port saturation. Is this model 'stackable'? I'm not seeing 'stacking' ports on the rear of the switch and my research is coming up empty so far. Note: Please don't take discussion down the road of VPC (peering), strictly interested in the stacking option/inquiry at the moment.

Thank you.

Hello @Scott Appel,

Cisco Nexus C93180YC-FX is not a "stackable" switch in the traditional sense of having dedicated stacking ports. Instead, Cisco Nexus switches, including the C93180YC-FX, typically use Virtual PortChannel (vPC) technology for connecting multiple switches in a data center environment...sorry I'm talking about that vPC lol

[Scott Appel]

We use vPC for most situations here utilizing an OOB (out of band) switch for the heartbeat/Mgt0 connections, 2 core switches for redundancy and redundant connections on the 2 peered switches (again for redundancy and resiliency). But this one off setup doesn't have the infrastructure and won't have the redundant connections between the 2 C93180YC-FXs to set up the vPC. So, I was chasing the old 'stacking' solution, it would suit our needs.

It not stackable but it support

Vpc 

This vpc connect two nexus to form one virtual sw with two control plane it not like stack in c9000 but like stackwise virtual in high end of c9000.
