Planning a Stack
Here are the guidelines to planning a stack:
A stack can have up to four AT-GS900MX Series switches.
A stack can have different models of AT-GS900MX Series
switches.
Any AT-GS900MX Series switch model can be the master switch
of a stack.
Switches connected with stacking cables should be installed in a
standard 19-inch equipment rack and not more than one meter
apart, the length of the stacking cable. The end switches cannot be
more than one meter apart if you want to create the ring topology,
shown in Figure 18 on page 52 and Figure 19 on page 53.
The wiring topology of the stack may be either linear or ring. Both
topologies offer the same in terms of speed, but the ring topology
adds wiring redundancy.
The AT-GS900MX Series stack may not contain other stacking
switches, such as x600 and x610 Series switches.
The AT-GS900MX Series switches do not need any additional
software for stacking. However, they do need stacking
transceivers.
All the switches must have the same licenses of optional features.
If you install an optional feature on one switch, you must install it
on all switches before assembling the stack.
