ICX 7650 stacking ports
ICX 7650 devices support stacking through Module 3 on the rear panel, shown in the following figure.
FIGURE 27 ICX 7650 rear-module 40-Gbps stacking ports
The rear module is fixed, and its ports can be configured for stacking or uplink. By default, the rear module supports 100-Gbps
stacking on ports 1 and 2 (1/3/1 and 1/3/2). When 100-Gbps stacking is enabled, ports 3 and 4 are not used. Stacking trunks are
not supported on 100-Gbps connections in a stack that contains more than two units. However, a 100-Gbps linear-topology trunk
(ports 1/3/1 to 1/3/2) is supported in a two-unit stack.
The rear-module stacking configuration can be changed to support four 40-Gbps stacking ports using the rear-module uplink-40g
command. Stacking ports or stacking trunks can be configured on 40-Gbps connections.
NOTE
Rear-module ports can also be configured as data uplink ports. Refer to
ICX 7650 rear-module options on page 123 for
more information.
ICX 7650 stacking topologies
All ICX 7650 models support stacking from Module 3 on the rear panel. ICX 7650 stacks containing any combination of ICX 7650
models can be connected in linear or ring configurations.
