Stacking technology

Hello, I need help:


First question: 

Is it possible to organize the aggregation of ports on the two devices stack technology "Virtual Stacking"? Ie create a trunk  and add the ports 0/0/48 1/0/48. Will provide load balancing?


The second question is: 

What is the essential difference between technology "Virtual stacking" and "IRF Stacking"?


In advance thanks

Re: Stacking technology

1. You will need to tell us what switch model you are using.

 

2. "Virtual stacking" is not stacking. It is management clustering.

"IRF stacking" is 3COM-specific stacking technology which creates a proper single virtual switch out of multiple hardware chassis.
