When cabling AP-635 and AP-655 indoor switches to utilize both ethernet ports, attached to a four-node CX 6300M switch stack VSF, what are the configuration best practices?   I am assuming an InstantOn configuration utilizing 8.0.10.13 as a minimum firmware rev.

I would prefer to cable each AP ethernet port to a different physical switch so that if a switch goes down, the other remaining AP port will be functional.

Ideally, I would like to utilize the 2.5G - 5G bandwidth of each AP ethernet port to get the most of the 6300M bandwidth available for less-than 100m short-runs utilizing CAT6A 10G capable cabling.

If I configure an LACP group on the switches that will give me primary/backup capability, are there options in the CX LACP configuration to utilize active-active so that both AP ports can be active simultaneously?

Is there anything special that needs to be configured on the AP end to take advantage of active-active?

Thanks

are you using AOS10 firmware for these APs?

but generally they can share PoE and have automatically enabled LACP on the APs. and it is good idea to connected to a stack of switches each port to a different stack member. With AOS10, a high-availability bonded link is automatically created that can operate in either active / active (LACP) or active / standby modes.

I am not on AOS10, the access point is running InstantOn 8.0.10.13

for IAPs, it happens by default. this is from the user guide

Yes I read that in the manual as well, but it did not specifically mention the 600-series in the list of AP models.

AP-605 can only get PoE from E0 and not E1. However you can test the LACP functionality, it could work
