Clustered switch pairs
If the redundant switch pair is part of a clustered or stackable switch pair, LACP links can be formed
between the switch pair, and can have performance benefits by crossing the links between each
pair of switches. Refer to your switch documentation to determine whether LACP links can be formed
between separate physical blades or switches within the clustered configuration, and for information
about performance recommendations.
The cabling in the following diagram includes LACP link aggregation and uses clustered or stackable
switches.
