I am building a storage network, physically separated from the data network. I have two Cisco SG350-28P-K9 V02 switches:
- One on the basement. Has two NAS, two ESX servers. (in use)
- One on the 4th floor. Has one NAS, two ESX servers. (to be added)
- Two runs between basement and 4th floor: one fiber, one ethernet.
I am trying to have the two switches work as one, so that all NAS / Servers can see each other across the two floors. Should I stack them? if so, I don't see any settings to do this on the advanced GUI, not the console.
Can you shine some light on how to archive this? Thank you!

The SG350 does not have stacking capability, only PIDs with an X on the end are stackable. EX: SG350X
