Two Stacked Cisco 10GbE switches + LACP (x1 SFP+ to each switch) = 20Gbps?

Morning Reddit,

I need help clarifying if I will achieve 20Gb networking or only 10Gb

Equipment is:

  • x2 Cisco SG350XG (Stacked)
  • x1 Server w/ Dual 10Gb NIC's.

Configuration is:

  • Switch 1 Port 1 is configured with LACP
  • Switch 2 Port 1 is configured with LACP
  • Server NIC 1 is connected to Switch 1 Port 1 (LACP)
  • Server NIC 2 is connected to Switch 2 Port 1 (LACP)

Can these Cisco switches, despite being two separate data planes but acting as one 'brain', achieve a combined 20Gbps throughput? or is this a pipe dream and I have to have TWO ports in switch 1 and TWO ports in switch 2 for a *true* redundant 20Gbps link?
