Stacking ICX6610 units with 1GB ports
Hi all--

Just wondering if the SFP/SFP+ stacking ports on an ICX6610 can be used in either mode, or if I need to get a 10G license to use the stacking features on those ports. Ideally I want to mix in other ICX units, like the 6450.

Can I stack those machines with the default 1GB ports, maybe trunk them to 2GB, or do I need to pay for the licenses and upgrade to 10GB?

As usual, many thanks.

Dave, you should just use the 40G stack ports on the back, no licensing
required. I don't believe you can use the 10G ports, unless you are doing
hybrid stacking (mixed mode) to 6450's. In that case, I believe it does
need to be 10G.
