Hi Guys

Is it possible to set up a port channel across 2 stacked switches?

Below is a diagram of what i would like to happen but im not sure if its possible without hardware to test on.

Yes thats actually recommened incase a switch dies so you still have 1 active switch and link available

I havent got sg500s but i have plenty of campus switches like 3850s,36s,37s etc they are all split across stacks

VSS supports this as well and so would port-channels on 2ks split across 5ks just in case you ever come by them
