Hooking up Multiple 8024F switches
I have 4 8024F 10G switches for my 10g Equallogic/VMWare enviroment. I need to hook up the 4 switches and I need to find out what to best way is. I want to keep the 10G speed and I know how to hook up a LAG connection between 2 8024F switches, but how does it change with 4 of them. I am hooking up 2 10G Equallogic SANs, 2 R910 (with 10G cards installed), and 3 R810 (with 10G cards). Also, we would like to hook them up to our PowerConnect 6248 stack already in place and have built in redunecy if a switch fails.

Trunking with the EQL array won't be needed, unless your trunking between switches. The main goal with trunking with LACP or 802.3ad, is using the built in load balance algorythm between destination and source address. For the fact that all data is going to the group ip, you will have the same source and destination for most traffic. The fact that your pumping 10G through the pipe, should give you great speeds per session.
