not sure I completely understand the question but the 2 Internal Stacking Links that connect to horizontally adjacent Flex-10 or FlexFabric modules are 10Gb ethernet ports that form an 802.3ad Link Aggregation for a total bandwidth of 20 Gb/sec. The layer of operation is layer 2. Stacking links will potentially carry traffic for all VLANs defined in the VC domain depending on the network topology.

hope that helps
