Stacking Switches
The switch supports stacking up to eight units through an optional SFP stacking
transceiver. Each stacking connection provides a 2 Gbps high-speed link using USB
stacking cables. The stacking transceiver must be installed in the port 25 SFP slot.
Each stacking transceiver has two connectors, Tx and Rx, for attaching stacking
cables. Figure 3-7 shows how stacking cables are connected between switches in a
stack.
Note: The stacking transceiver must only be installed in the port 25 SFP slot.
Installing a Stacking Transceiver
The stacking transceiver must be installed in the port 25 slot. It should be inserted
before any of the systems in the stack are powered on.
Figure 3-6 Installing a Stacking Transceiver
Slide the SFP transceiver into the SFP transceiver slot until it clicks into place. To
