Stack Ports
Ports in a stack must be reserved to be one of the following port types:
•Network Ports—Also known as uplink ports. These are ports that are
connected to the network.
•Stack Ports—Ports that connect two units in a stack. Stack ports are used
to transfer data and protocol packets among the units.
You must indicate to the system (reserve) which ports you plan to use as stack
ports (in the System Mode and Stack Management page). All ports that are not
reserved to be stack ports, are considered to be network ports.
Default Stack and Network Ports
The following are the default stack and network ports:
•Sx500 Devices—When an Sx500 device operates in Native Stacking
mode, S1-S2-1G operate as regular network ports, and S3-S4-5G operate
as stack ports by default.
•SG500X/ESW2-550X Devices—S1-S2-10G are stack ports by default.
You can manually reconfigure S1-S2-10G and S1-S2-5G as network ports or
stack ports.
