Connecting High-Speed Stacking Cables
The
stack
of
switches
can
be
connected
in
a
ring
or
daisy
chain
topology.
In
a
ring
topology
all
the
switches
are
connected.
The
only
difference
in
the
cable
connections
in
a
daisy
chain
topology
is
that
one
cable
is
not
installed.
Up
to
seven
or
eight
switches
can
be
stacked
together
and
connected
by
high
‐
speed
stacking
cables.
You
can
add
switches
and
reach
up
to
a
maximum
of
384
Ethernet
ports
per
stack.
The
high
‐
speed
stacking
cables
allow
the
entire
stack
to
operate
with
a
single
IP
address.
