Installing the Ruckus ICX 7750
Stacking Ruckus ICX 7750 switches
Connecting breakout cables to 40 GbE ports
A 40 GbE breakout cable can only be used on standalone Ruckus ICX 7750 devices to break out certain 40 GbE QSFP+ ports into four
10 GbE sub-ports. (Refer to
NOTE
Any previous configuration must be removed from a 40 GbE port before it can be broken out into sub-ports. Refer to the Ruckus
FastIron Management Configuration Guide for more information.
NOTE
Stacking cannot be enabled on Ruckus ICX 7750 devices that have a breakout configuration on any 40 GbE ports, and vice versa.
Stacking Ruckus ICX 7750 switches
Ruckus ICX 7750 devices support chassis-class high availability stacking with hitless failover on six full-duplex 40 Gbps stacking ports.
Ruckus ICX 7750 Switches can be stacked using standard full-40 Gbps QSFP+ ports per switch, providing a maximum stacking
bandwidth of 480 Gbps.
Stacking ports
There are six QSFP+ ports on the front panel (slot 2) and six QSFP+ ports on the rear panel (slot 3) that can be used as stacking ports.
Use either the front panel stacking ports or the rear panel stacking ports. No mixed combination of front and rear ports is allowed.

FIGURE 32
Front panel stacking ports
The available front panel stacking ports are 1/2/1 through 1/2/6.
Ports 1/2/1 and 1/2/4 are default stacking ports on the front panel. Default stacking ports have the capability to accept special stacking
packets during a CLI-initiated command sequence of the Secure Setup utility. The default ports can be changed to ports 1/3/1 and
1/3/4 on the rear panel. No other default ports are allowed.
