HP 5500 El IRF Stack

Jessie_O — Wed, 16 Feb 2022 06:20:29 GMT

Hello

I recently acquired two HP 5500 El switches for my lab environment and would like to stack them.

I have learnt that there are no dedicated stack ports for these switches and that I need a stack module and CX4 cables to stack them.

How many CX4 cables do I need to stack these switches and how should I connect the cables?

Please also share documents describing the topology for two switches if available.

Thank you.

Thank you for responding.

You may have slightly misunderstood my question.

I know I can not stack SI and EI switches thats why i got two EI switches.

I want to know how many CX4 cables I would need to stack two switches and also,

how do I cable them together to form a stack?

Thank you.
