Rear panel linear stacking topology
In a ring stack topology, there is an extra connection between the logical first and last devices, forming a “ring” or “closed-loop.” The
closed-loop connection provides a redundant path for the stack link, so if one link fails, stack communications can be maintained.
For example, in a three-unit stack using a ring topology, unit 1 connects to unit 2, unit 2 connects to unit 3, and unit 3 connects to unit 1.
