Stacking Switches

With 2-port stacking the last two 10G ports 27 and 28 (or 51 and 52) are 

used for stacking (in DGS-3630 series).

Once stacking is enabled both ports 27 and 28 (or 51 and 52) are switched 

into stacking (non-Ethernet) mode. Ports 25-26 (49-50) can still be used for 

regular 10Gig Ethernet connectivity.

With 4-port stacking enabled, all four 10G ports are dedicated to stacking and 

cannot be used for regular 10Gig Ethernet connectivity.

27-28 are dedicated to Stacking when

2-port stacking is enabled (40 Gbps Stacking)

25-26 and 27-28 are dedicated to Stacking when
