Auto Selection of Port Speed
You can set the stacking cable type to be discovered automatically when the
cable is connected to the port (auto-discovery is the default setting). The system
automatically identifies the stack cable type and selects the highest speed
supported by the cable and the port.
A SYSLOG message (informational level) requesting that the user configures the
port speed manually is displayed when the cable type is not recognized.
Connecting Units
Two units can only be connected in a stack if the ports on both ends of the link are
of the same speed. This is done by configuring the stack ports speed to:
•Auto Speed mode
•Same speed on each side of the connection
Cables Types
Each type of stack port can be used with specific cable types.
When the stack mode is set to Native Stacking, you can use either a fiber or
copper cable as a stacking cable. If both cables (Fiber and Copper) are
connected, fiber is the preferred media. Dual connection can be used for
redundancy. When a media change occurs, for example you disconnect the fiber
stacking cable and the copper stacking cable becomes active, the system initiates
a topology change event.
