Figure 1-12 close loop stack port link
In the line mode topology stack, only one stack link to another switch, applying
the intercommunication among the stacks. In the close loop stack, an extra stack line
link the top and bottom switch to form a close loop structure. The close loop stack
supports one redundant route for stack link to avoid the disconnect. The figure above
show a close loop stack link.
