Stackable L2+/L3 Managed Switch
Installation
2. Log on to the GUI of each switch, go to Stack
→
Stack Management
→
Stack
Cong page to enable the stack mode of port M1 and M2 (port 1/1/1 and 1/1/2 on
the GUI). Remember to click Save Cong after the configuration.
3. Power off the switches, and then connect a 10G SFP+ cable (TXC432-CU1M/TXC432-
CU3M of TP-LINK for example) between each pair of Interface Cards among the
switches, thus forming a ring topology as the following figure shows. A ring topology
system provides redundancy and resiliency to the stack.

4. Power on the switches, then the switches will automatically select a master unit. The
Master LED of the selected switch will be on.
5. You can access to any member of the stack via Web/SSH/Telnet/Console connection,
thus to manage all the switches in the stack.
Caution: In the process of using TP-LINK SFP+ Cables, please never bend them into
a radius of 45mm (1.77 inch) or less, because it may permanently damage the SFP+
Cables.
