Hoe to add a LAG to A stacked core switch

[AlanD]

Our core core switch used to a single switch, but we now have two stacked with 24gb stack cables. The servers have 4x 1gb cables going into the original switch. Would it be better to split these between the two swiches so that each switch has 2x LAG cables? Would that mean that if one switch failed...hopefully not...the other would still serve up what remains connected? In fact should I split the LAG fibre cables that go off to edge switches between the 2 core swiches?

HP? If so we have it spread across two switches and it works fine. I turned off one switch to do maintenance and no downtime.

Definitely, If the switch acts as one then should be no problem.

 

I'd also think about spliting server links between the 2 as well.

Which switches are they? Some switches act as a 'virtual chassis', others while stacked, can't have aggregated links to them.
