Is it possible to connect 8024f and 8132f?
Hi,
We have 2 storage networks on the same IP range and no conflicting IP's. As part of a consolidation we are trying to make the 2 equalogic SAN's on each portion available to all esx hosts. Currently our setup is:
Infrastructure - 2 x 8024f with a LAG on the last 4 SFP ports
Trading - 2 x 8132f stacked using the stacking modules (uplink cables)
What we want to do is connect the 2 switch stacks to each other. We have 1 long SFP+ cable and I wanted to know what would happen if I connect this to a port on stack 1 and a port on stack 2? Would that effectively provide a path between the 2 stacks? As everything is on the same VLAN, once we are connected there should be no further configuration requires?
Any help would be appreciated and sorry if this is a silly question.
Chris

Thanks Daniel! That was exactly the confirmation that we needed. We have connected the 2 stacks (we only need 1 cable as it's temporary so that we can merge our 2 esx environments) and we can ping across them.
Thanks again, great help!
Cheers,
Chris
