Stacking for HP 2930F

[Mahmoud Mariee]

Hello,

Appreciate your support to know the bandwith for J9735A stacking cable and what is the different if i use it for stacking six of 2930F switches (Ring Topology) vs using VSF with 10GB ports.

Thank you

Hello, 

The 2930F series only supports VSF or front plane stacking using standard Ethernet interfaces . They dont support backplane stacking using the special purpose stacking module and stacking cables like J9735A .

The stacking module and cables can only be used with the 2930M series. So you dont have a choise of stacking technologies for the 2930 series, it is either VSF for the F models or backplane stacking for the M models.

The data sheet of the 2930M series provides information about the bandwidth of the stacking cables and module on page 2.

 Stacking Topology
- High Performance stacking—up to 100 Gbps of stacking
throughput per switch. Each 2-port stacking module can
support up to 25 Gbps in each direction per port.
