This could either be through 2x 10G ports on the back of the switch (similar to some Juniper switches), or front so its all cable managed together. Looking to create core switching with L3 functionality running 10G. Redundant core uplinks to each 10G switch.
What would be even nicer is a pair of 40GB QSFP+ ports for creating a stacking ring (similar to H3C/HPE comware based switches) or split them off into 4x extra ports if so desired.
