Switch Stack and EtherChannel

Hi,

 

We have four Meraki MS350 switches, said A, B, C, D.

 

I would like to stack A, B together, then C, D together. After that, I would like to create a EtherChannel between two stacks. 

 

My solution is as follows, is that possible for the EtherChannel on the two different physical switches like VPC? Or I have to create the EtherChannel on the same physical switch for stacking 

 

    A Port 49 <--> C Port 49

    B Port 49 <--> D Port 49

 

Thanks!

Not sure to understand your question but 

 

    A Port 49 <--> C Port 49

    B Port 49 <--> D Port 49

 

will work since A,B are on the same stack and C,D on the same stack.

 

vPC is only needed when the hardware is not stacked or configured in a VSS mode.

If your goal is to plug a device into stack A,B and stack C,D and try to bundle the links , that won't work :

Sorry for the confusion. 

 

I need a EtherChannel between two stacks, and the link of EtherChannel on the different physical switches. I think you answer my question. Thank you!
