Figure 149: Combining Stack Port Types—B
The following cables are used to make the stacking connections:
● SummitStack 128G cable between the two Summit X650 series switches at the top (slot 1 and slot 2)
● SummitStack 128G/20G stacking cable between the Summit X650 series switch and the Summit X460
series switch (between slot 2 and slot 3)
● SummitStack 20G stacking cable between the two Summit X460 series switches (between slot 3 and
slot 4)
● SummitStack 20G stacking cable between the Summit X460 series switch and the Summit X450a
series switch (between slot 4 and slot 5)
● SummitStack 128G/20G stacking cable between the Summit X450a series switch and the Summit
X650 series switch (between slot 5 and slot 1)
Table 70 on page 211 lists the recommended order for connecting the stacking ports in this example.
