VCS Stacking Modules, Cables, and Connections

The stacks are connected via the stacking ports on the VCS Stacking Modules (AT-StackXG), which are installed in the back of each switch.

The following cables are used to connect the stacking ports of x600 series switches:

ˆHigh Speed Stacking Cables (0.5 meter) - StackXG/0.5

ˆHigh Speed Stacking Cables (1.0 meter) - StackXG/1

This configuration, shown in Figure 23, uses two switches that are connected back to back via two high-speed stacking links. Note that stacking ports labeled 1 must connect to stacking ports labeled 2. In this configuration the stack can still function using only a single high speed link.
