Figure 42 shows ve switches installed at the tops of ve adjacent racks. To
accommodate the shortest possible cables, immediately adjacent switches are not
always connected together. Port 2 on one switch is connected to Port 1 on the next
connected switch. If the easy setup feature is used to congure the stack parameters,
the assigned slot numbers will be as shown in the gure.
