4 Application Scenarios
4.1 Configuring a Stack with a Ring Topology
Networking Requirements
As shown in Figure 4-1, SwitchA, SwitchB, SwitchC, and SwitchD need to set up a stack
with a ring topology.
As the network scale rapidly increases, the number of interfaces provided by an access switch
cannot meet server access requirements. To meet these requirements, the number of access
interfaces needs to be increased without increasing the existing investment, and the network
must be easy to manage and maintain.
The following uses the S5700-LI as an example to describe how to configure a stack in
service port connection mode with a ring topology.
