Omada Stackable L3 Managed Switch
22 Connection
There are three stack topology structures for different scenarios, please build the proper topology
according to your needs:
1. Chain Topology: Chain topology is relatively simple and does not require cable connection
between the first and last unit. It is suitable for long-distance stacking, but its reliability is relatively
low.

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 master switch, therefore, it can
significantly increase the data forwarding rate between member switches while providing unified
management.
