Okay great, thank you for the help. So I can use the QSFP ports on the switches to flexible stack. Thank you again

Ah I see that, thanks. So I'm fine with flexible stacking, but I'm unsure still if that's the right approach for what I'm trying to do. Would having them stacked make it the easier or better way to have redundancy? Right now I have one deployed (this was a incremental rollout due to an office move) with a pair of VLANs configured and a single static route. With the switches stacked, would I be able to use that same original static route, or would each switch need its own? Thanks!

I apologize in advance for my ignorance: I've got a pair of MS425-32s that, to my understanding, support physical and flexible stacking. I'd like to set them up so they are redundant for each other. I have a pair of esxi hosts and a pair of storage arrays that will be connected to the 425's. The SAN units have redundant controllers, and I'd like each one to have a connection to both switches, in case either switch were to fail. What I'm unsure on is whether I should do this as a physical stack or flexible stacking, or if this is even the right way to go. I'd appreciate some help. Thanks!
