8024F Stack with 10gb LAG to 5548 Stack
I am looking to redo my network as follows:
2 x 8024F (Stacked with 4 Ethernet Stack links)
3 x 5548 (Stacked via HDMI)
Will I be able to use the 10gb ports on the 5548's to create LAG's to the 8024's? I don't see anything in the manuals to say that I can't but I recently read something online where someone was saying that it is either / or on the HDMI and 10gb ports, you can't use both at same time? I don't own this equipment yet, otherwise I would just try it myself.
Also, I have seen references that the 8024F will take 1gb SFP transceivers as well as 10gb SFP+ transceivers. Any idea what the part numbers are for the 1gb SFP transceivers?
Thanks,
Jeff

Thank you, that's what I wanted to hear. I reached out to sales to find out information re: SFP transceivers but no response as of yet. I'll follow-up later with their response in case anyone else is curious.

Yes, the HDMI stacking ports are separate from the 10gb SFP+ ports where you would create lags.
The family of products for Dell PowerConnect 55xx. The family will include four platforms:
• 24 GE ports + 2 10G SFP+ + 2 10GE stack ports (HDMI)
• 24 GE ports + 2 10G SFP+ + 2 10GE stack ports (HDMI) + PoE
• 48 GE ports + 2 10G SFP+ + 2 10GE stack ports (HDMI)
• 48 GE ports + 2 10G SFP+ + 2 10GE stack ports (HDMI) + PoE
NOTE:
SFP+ ports are backwards-compatible with supported 1G SFP transceivers.
As far as the 1gb SFP transceivers for the 8024F I do not see that available as a purchase. You might as a Sales Representative on the availability of the transceivers for the 8024F
