Feature Function Benefit
CrossLink high-
speed inter-switch
connection (up to
256 Mbps using
eight ports)

B. 5 switch stack
C. 8 switch stack Stack Products
Needing:
A. 2 x 8630
B. 1 x 8635 and
4 x 8630
C. 1 x 8300 and
8 x 8630
Allows several switches to be
stacked, accommodating
switch scalability up to 224
switched Token-Ring ports.
Optional
redundant power
supply
Up to six switches
can receive backup
power from one
