I have a core of 2 MS425-32 in a stack using the 40 gig QSFP ports.

I want to add 2 more to the stack over SMF. Should be supported on this model.

I can't have existing stack problems since it is running Aggrs and is the core of my network.

What is the procedure to keep current stack running and ad the 2 switches to it without downtime.

My thoughts from Cisco catalyst side is connect added switch while powered off.

It should get added to running stack? No problems?

I have the switches to be added already configured to use the QSFP ports as stacking ports.

Please let me know of any gotchas.

Thanks,

Greg

Are you able to perform this during an agreed outage window just to cover yourself?
