hi experts,
in attached design- i am doing inter-vlan routing on asr routers. and to achieve that I am also creating dot1q sub-interface on asr router. there are total 10 VLANs going till asr.
my doubt is since, i have 2 switches in stack mode , hence physically 2 - 2 cables will go from switches to both router. but logical point of view - is it correct that I need to create port-channel and make both the interfaces its member ?

Hi,
If you have a stack switch/vss/Nexus vpc environment connected to any device (Router/switch/servers) it's always recommend to use port-channel instead of individual port. With port-channel you can get benefits like, double bandwidth with redundancy, spanning-tree will not play, and etc.
Thanks & Best regards

Hi Arjun,
As per your diagram the port-channel is possible. You have connected Two cables from different switch(Data panel) but both having one control panel. That is not a issue.
You can configure the same.
