Installing the Ruckus ICX 7450
Connecting devices in a stack
For example, in a four-unit stack using a linear topology, unit 1 connects to unit 2, unit 2 to unit 3, and unit 3 to unit 4.
Figure 33 shows a supported rear panel linear stacking topology.

In a ring stack topology, there is an extra connection between the logical first and last devices, forming a “ring” or “closed-loop.” The
closed-loop connection provides a redundant path for the stack link, so if one link fails, stack communications can be maintained.
For example, in a three-unit stack using a ring topology, unit 1 connects to unit 2, unit 2 connects to unit 3, and unit 3 connects to unit 1.
Figure 34 shows a supported rear panel ring stacking topology.

The following figures show linear and ring stacking using slot 2 on the front panel. Only the ICX7400-4X10GF module supports stacking
using slot 2.
Figure 35 shows a supported front panel linear stacking topology.
