Re: Maximum no. of switches allowed to stack in A5500 EI Switches
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your detailed answer.
I would just like to know since HP A-Series doesn't have inbuilt stacking modules so they use the 10Gig Modules for stacking. Then it that case what if I also want to use 10Gig uplinks to connecting to the data centre.
Can you please advice.
Thanks & Regards
Sebastan

Hi Sebastian,
You don't need all 10G ports for IRF(stacking).
Since all A5500 switches support 2 extended module slots, you can use one slot with two 10G ports for IRF and another module with one or two 10 G ports for uplink to interconnect to your datacenter.
Regards

CX4 is one way, you can also use the regular 10GbE fiber modules.

Re: Maximum no. of switches allowed to stack in A5500 EI Switches
The dual port CX4 modules are the cheapest way of linking 5500EI switches for IRF. You would probably have the other module with dual SFP+ ports for connection to the DC core switches (with copper DACs or fibre optic cable).
