Cabling Configurations for the Trunk
This section illustrates the cabling configurations for the trunk of the stack.
One Controller
Card Per Chassis
Figure 168 illustrates the correct wiring configuration for the trunk when
each chassis has only one AT-SBx81CFC960 Controller Fabric Card. The
transceiver in SFP+ slot 1 in the controller card in the first chassis is
connected to the transceiver in SFP+ slot 1 in the card in the second
chassis, the transceiver in SFP+ slot 2 is connected to the transceiver in
SFP+ slot 2 in the second chassis, and so on.
Figure 168. Cabling the SFP+ Slots When Both Switches have One
Controller Card
Please note the following:
The trunk has a bandwidth of 40Gbps when each chassis has one
controller card and the trunk has four links.
The switches will form the stack even if the transceivers are cabled
incorrectly (for example, the transceiver in SFP+ slot 1 is
connected to the transceiver in SFP+ slot 2). However, the
bandwidth of the trunk is reduced.
