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 port 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 the Rx port on the bottom unit (stacking up to 8 units).
