Connecting the Switches in the Stack

Note. There are no restrictions on which HSSDC stacking ports must be connected. For example, a stack- ing cable connected to port 51 on an OS6648 may be connected to either port 51 or port 52 on the OS6648 immediately below. However, for easier management, it is recommended that you keep a consistent pattern for all switches in the stack.

3To provide added resiliency and redundancy, it is strongly recommended that you install the optional one-meter stacking cable to connect the top switch in the stack to the bottom switch in the stack. Use the unused HSSDC stacking connectors located at ports 27 and 28 (OS6624 and OS6600-U24) or 51 and 52 (OS6648) of each switch, as shown. For more information on stack redundancy and the one-meter stack- ing cable, refer to “Redundant Stack Connection” on page 3-13.

Note. The one-meter stacking cable is available with Alcatel’s optional Redundant Stacking Kit.
