    Switch Stacking12

    Uploaded by

    Ladislau
    This document compares the features of switch stacking, LAG, and VLT technologies. LAG combines links between two switches into a single logical link to increase bandwidth utilization and availability. VLT provides higher resiliency with dual control planes and gives link redundancy between two peers. Switch stacking allows multiple physical switches to act as a single virtual switch, simplifying management and providing resiliency through automatic failover, but maintenance requires rebooting the entire fabric.
