StackPower Partitioning Examples

Figure 2-15and Figure 2-16show StackPower stacks of Catalyst 3750-X switches with failover conditions. In Figure 2-15, the StackPower cable 2 is faulty. Therefore, this stack does not provide redundancy.

In Figure 2-16, StackPower port B on the center switch has failed and this stack partitions into two stacks. The top two switches share power, and the bottom switch is now a separate stack.
