LAGG or Bridge?

[sysadminfromhell]

Hello,

so my plan is to "upgrade" the network a bit at home to use 2 Switches instead of one.
Currently I only have 2 NICs free available which currently is connected to one switch with different VLANs which works great but my new setup requieres me to have the same vlans on both nics, as best as use the same network interface ips so both Switches can use the same vlan as before and connect the clients the same way.
As far as I understood this would be possible with LAGG and then setup the VLANs to the logical nic, correct?

My further setup would be to have 2 physical connections to each switch so 4 Nics, 2 LAGGs in my head it makes sense but I´m not sure.
Anyone has this kind of setup?

Kind regards,

Are you switches the same brand/model? Depending on the switch, you might be able to "stack" the switches together which physically connects them and provides a single point of management for both switches. Not all switches offer this functionality however.
