2. Ring Topology: Ring topology has higher reliability compared with the chain topology. When one
of the chains in the ring topology is disconnected, the ring topology becomes a chain topology,
but the entire stack system can still work normally. The ring topology requires cable connection
between the first and last unit, so it's not suitable for long-distance stacking.

3. Star Topology: Star topology connects the switches to a central main switch, therefore, it can
significantly increase the data forwarding rate between member switches while providing unified
management.
