Stack Configurations

As shown in Figure 4, the cascade connectors and cables on the 400-ST1 front-panel provide the ability to stack up to eight BayStack switches. With 400-4TX MDAs installed in each switch, the stack can accommodate a maximum of 224 switch ports.

Because stack parameters are associated with the base unit (see “ Base Unit Description” on page 7), the physical stack order depends on the base unit’s position and whether the stack is configured stack up or stack down.

Stack Up Configurations

In Figure 4, data flows from the base unit (unit 1) to the next switch, which is assigned as unit 2, and continues until the last switch in the stack is assigned as unit 8. The physical order of the switches is from bottom to top (unit 1 to unit 8).

Stack Down Configurations

In Figure 5, data flows from the base unit (unit 1) to the next switch, which is assigned as unit 2, and continues until the last switch in the stack is assigned as unit 8. The physical order of the switches is from top to bottom (unit 1 to unit 8).
