Stack Switches Using 10G Fiber

This example shows how to stack two switches in different buildings at long distance using 10G fiber. First insert AX741 to I/O slot on Switch A, and insert AX741 to I/O slot on Switch B. Then connect the two AX741 with fiber.

CLI: Stack Switches Using 10G Fiber

1.On Switch A, show the port information.

(Netgear Switch) #show stack-port			Configured	Running		Link
			Stack	Stack	Link	Speed
Unit	Intf SlotId	Type XFP Adapter	Mode	Mode	Status	(Gb/s)
----	------ -------	----- -----------	---------	--------	--------	--------
1	0/51	None	Ethernet	Ethernet	Link Down	12
1	0/52	AX741	Stack	Stack	Link Down	0

In this case, port 1/0/52 has been configured as stack, so no action is needed.

2.On Switch B, show the stack port information.

(Netgear Switch) #show stack-port			Configured	Running		Link
			Stack	Stack	Link	Speed
Unit	Intf SlotId	Type XFP Adapter	Mode	Mode	Status	(Gb/s)
----	------ -------	----- -----------	---------	--------	--------	--------
2	0/27	None	Stack	Stack	Link Down	0
2	0/28	AX741	Ethernet	Ethernet	Link Down	12
