Figure 3-7 Connecting Switches in a Stack

Note: The stacking transceiver must only be installed in the port 25 SFP

slot.

To connect up to eight switches in a stack, perform the following steps:

1. Install SFP stacking transceivers into the por t 25 slot for each switch

in the stack.

2. Plug one end of a stack cable into the Tx (top ) port of the top unit

3. Plug the other end of the stack cable into the Rx (bottom) port of the

next unit.

4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each unit in the stack. Form a simple chain

starting at the Tx port on the top unit and ending at th e Rx port on the

bottom unit (stacking up to 8 units).
