Stacking LAG
When multiple links are used between stack units, Dell Networking OS automatically bundles them in a stacking LAG to provide aggregated
throughput and redundancy.
The stacking LAG is established automatically and transparently by Dell Networking OS (without user conguration) after peering is
detected and behaves as follows:
• The stacking LAG dynamically aggregates; it can lose link members or gain new links.
• Shortest path selection inside the stack: If multiple paths exist between two units in the stack, the shortest path is used.
