StackWisePlus is a 32G full duplex bidirectional ring (when cables all installed properly.... this means you should still be better ff using it rather than having 2 stacks and trying to link the 2 together using eg expensive 10G ethernet X2's or port-channelled 1G's alan _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
