Example: Stack with VIM1-SummitStack Modules
shows an example of a four-switch stack that combines two different switch models: two of
each model; four switches in all. For the first switch model, the stacking ports are on installed VIM1-
SummitStack modules. For the second switch model, the stacking ports are on installed SummitStack
stacking modules. The recommended order for connecting the stacking ports is the same as for the
example in
