Stack 2x 4148T-ON Switches

I have 2 switches and am running out of ports on one of them.  If I understand correctly there is a way to connect 2 switches to expand the number of available ports.  I have tried searching to see how this is accomplished however there is a lot of contradicting or confusing information out there (OS versions/availability).

I have set the switches up on port profile 3 and have the interconnect cable connected between port 25 on both switches (cli shows an active 100G connection).  I am at a loss as to what to do next.

Can anyone please confirm if what I want to do is possible or do I just trunk the 100G interconnect and then just config the switches as separate entities?

Thank you.

    Hello Brad,

     

    See if VLT will do what you want.

    Note: Switch stacking is not supported in OS10.

    Virtual Link Trunking aggregates two identical physical switches to form a single logical extended switch. This single logical entity ensures high availability and high resilience for all its connected access, core switches, and clients.
