Using the VIM1-SummitStack512 Module

The VIM1-SummitStack512 versatile interface module allows you to connect two Summit X650 series switches in a cross-over or back-to-back configuration, using SummitStack 128G cables (Figure 76). This configuration provides two bidirectional links operating at 256 Gbps between the two switches.
