Figure 2-2shows an example of a stack of Catalyst 3750 switches with incomplete StackWise cabling connections. This stack provides only half bandwidth and does not have redundant connections.

Figure 2-3and Figure 2-4show examples of stacks of Catalyst 3750 switches with failover conditions. In Figure 2-3, the StackWise cable is bad in link B; therefore, this stack provides only half bandwidth and does not have redundant connections. In Figure 2-4, link B is bad; therefore, this stack partitions into two stacks, and switch 1 and switch 3 are stack masters.
