Chapter 2 Switch Installation
Planning a Switch Data Stack
The configuration example (
Figure 2-1
) uses the supplied 0.5-meter StackWise cable. The example
shows the full-ring configuration that provides redundant connections.
Figure 2-1
Data Stacking the Catalyst 3650 Switches in a Rack or on a Table Using the 0.5-meter
StackWise Cables
Figure 2-2
shows a recommended configuration when the switches are mounted side-by-side. Use the
1-meter and the 3-meter StackWise cables to connect the switches. This configuration provides
redundant connections.

Data Stack Bandwidth and Partitioning Examples
This section provides examples of data stack bandwidth and possible data stack partitioning.
Figure 2-3
shows a data stack of Catalyst 3650 switches that provides full bandwidth and redundant
StackWise cable connections.
