Connecting a SummitStack 128G/20G Stacking Cable
SummitStack 128G/20G cables are used to connect the 128-Gbps stacking ports on Summit X650 series
switches to 20-Gbps stacking ports on Summit X650 series or other Summit series switches. The
128-Gbps ports are on VIM1-SummitStack256 modules in Summit X650 series switches. The 20-Gbps
ports are on one of the following:
●
VIM1-10G8X module installed in a Summit X650 series switch
●
VIM1-SummitStack module in a Summit X650 series switch
●
VIM2-SummitStack module in a Summit X480 series switch
●
Rear panel of Summit X250e, X450, X450a, or X450e series switches.
To connect a SummitStack 128G/20G cable:
1
Connect the 128-Gbps connector to the VIM1-SummitStack256 module as follows:
