x4012 high availability configuration?
Has anyone been playing with this new switch? I see it is poised from Dell to act as a backend core switch. It seems the x-1052? is specified in places to establish redundant connection to other hosts. What I'm wondering, has anyone tried just LAGing the x4012 together for 10Gb connection using SFP's or the QSFP's? What is QSFP? Trying to configure 4 or 6 of these in a HA fashion so that if any one of them, or a cable goes down, the hosts are still running.
thanks!

Hi Daniel,
Can you renew the links, one is unknown and one needs a partner login, I would like to read the LAG config.
Thanks
Eric

Thank you Daniel, that was very helpful, maybe you could point me in the right direction for a puzzle I have with 2 x 4012 switches and 2 x M3024 switches.
I am using the x4012s to connect to a Nutanix environment and the 3024s are TOR, as the 4012 switches are not stackable I have to connect them via ports on the front, as a LAG, the 3024 switches are stackable and I had a cable from each of the 4012 switches to each of the 3024 switches using a LAG - and that is where the problems start, as it seems to cause a loop so now i have no access and I am waiting for Remote Hands to power the 4012 off that I added the LAG to last :-(
Any ideas where I might find the answer?
Many thanks
Eric

The X-series does support link aggregation. Link aggregation will provide link redundancy. You can read more about link aggregation and it's configuration on page 190 of the user guide...
