switchuntilallswitcheshavebeeninstalledinthestack,thenproceedto“ConnectingHigh‐

Connecting High-Speed Stacking Cables

Thestackofswitchescanbeconnectedinaringordaisychaintopology.Inaringtopologyallthe

switchesareconnected.Theonlydifferenceinthecableconnectionsinadaisychaintopologyis

thatonecable isnotinstalled.Uptoeightswitchescanbestackedtogetherand

connectedbyhigh‐

speedstackingcables.Youcanaddswitchesandreachuptoamaximumof384Ethernetportsper

stack.Thehigh‐speedstackingcablesallowtheentirestacktooperatewithasingleIPaddress.

Thehigh‐speedstackingcablesareoptionalitemsthatyoumustorderseparately.

TheB5supports

thefollowingstackingcables:

•STK‐CAB‐SHORT,a30cmcable

•STK‐CAB‐LONG,a1mcable

•STK‐CAB‐2M,a2mcable

•STK‐CAB‐5M,a5mcable

Figure 2‐5showsanexam pleofafour‐highstackconnectedinaringtopology.AllSTACKDOWN

andSTACKUP

connectorsareusedintheinstallation.Thehigh‐speedstackingcableconnections

Note: By default, the stack connection ports are covered with removable covers. If you are not

connecting stacking cables, keep the covers on the stack connection ports. If you remove the

stacking cables, you must replace the covers on the stack connection ports.
