Hi all,
I need some advice. Let's start from what I need, I hope I can explain it correctly.
I need a couple of switch that can be stacked, and other features, in order to:
The switch that seems to have all the requirements (from a first sight) is HP 6600 - J9264A.
It has all the port (4 dual personality 1g eth/sfp and 4 sfp+), does have stack, support LACP, VLANs, layer 3 and has redundant PSU.
Btw I'm not sure that it does support LACP between 2 different switch, and I don't know if it's a "real" stack, like Cisco and Juniper (with virtual switch) or it's just a "stack means just ONE ip"...
Can anyone help/does have any experience with this?
If you know some switch that can fit the requirements please tell me!

I need a couple of switch that can be stacked, and other features, in order to:
- have full redundancy - one broken shouldn't block anything
- have double of the bandwidth - provided using LACP between 2 port of servers and 1 port for each switch
- have at least 6 sfp/sfp+ in each switch in order to connect to other switch in LACP as stated before
- layer 3
- more than 500 VLANs
- it's a plus, but double PSU would be nice
- it doesn't need to be new
