3.If you are installing this switch in a stacked configuration, repeat this procedure for each switch until all switches have been installed in the stack, then proceed to “Connecting High‐Speed Stacking Cables” on page 3‐10. Otherwise, proceed to “Connecting AC and PoE Power” on page 3‐15.

Connecting High-Speed Stacking Cables

The stack of switches can be connected in a ring or daisy chain topology. In a ring topology all the switches are connected. The only difference in the cable connections in a daisy chain topology is that one cable is not installed.

Up to 8 switches can be stacked together using C2CAB‐SHORT and C2CAB‐LONG high‐speed stacking cables. You can add switches and reach up to a maximum of 384 Ethernet ports per stack. The high‐speed stacking cables allow the entire stack to operate with a single IP address.
