Fail-Safe Stack Application
Figure 1-15 shows an example of eight BayStack 450 switches that are stacked
together as a single managed unit. If any unit in the stack fails, the stack remains
operational.
As shown in Figure 1-15, the Accelar 1100 switch is used as a backbone switch,
connecting to the BayStack 450 switch with two optional gigabit (1000BASE-SX)
MDAs that are MultiLink Trunked (T1) for maximum bandwidth. This
configuration uses optional BayStack 400-ST1 Cascade Modules to connect the
switches in the fail-safe stack.
For an overview of the fail-safe stacking feature that is available for the BayStack
450 switches, see
“Stack Operation” following this section.
