N4032 switch redundancy

Hi All,

I am using N4032 switch in current infrastructure and it's working fine. the structure is like this

Firewall --------L2switch(flat)------- N4032 --------- Servers/ESX.

I am using routing between firewall and N4032 switch.

Now, I would like to add the 2nd N4032 for redundancy. My vcenter doesn't have the license to use vds for lacp. so Is it possible to do the stacking the two N4032 switch? one will be master and when it fails the 2nd switch will forward the traffic to upstream and downstream. if it is possible to do, may I know

1) how many cables need to connect for stacking in two switch with N4032 tengigabitethernet interfaces. and how to connect the cables. for eg, is it like Sw1 port 23 connect to Sw2 port 24 and Sw1 port24 connect to Sw2 port23. cross connection?

2) may I know the stack configuration also. 

3) is that server two NIC will be connecting one to master switch and another NIC to slave switch?

Thanks a lot.

cheers.
