    Aruba 3810M 16 ports stacking best practices.

    Can i use front Fiber ports for stacking or stacking module is required?

    The 3810M uses stacking modules. No frontplane stacking afaik.

    Hello,

    It is not possible to do stacking (BPS - Backplane Stacking) through fiber ports.

    You will need to add the module JL084A Aruba 3810M 4-port Stacking Module.

    I am attaching the datasheet for more information.

    Regards

    Yes, a stacking module is required, the 3810M does not support front plan stacking or VSF, as it's called.

    You will require the module and the dedicated stacking cables

    You do require the dedicated module and cables.

    Best practice:.. happy stacking :)

    –High-performance stacking provides up to 336 Gbps 
    of stacking throughput; each 4-port stacking module 
    can support up to 42 Gbps in each direction per 
    stacking port
    –Ring, chain, and mesh topologies support up to 
    a 10-member ring or chain and 5-member fully 
    meshed stacks; meshed topologies offer increased 
    resiliency vs. a standard ring
