FIGURE 36 Topology 3: Linear and ring
Topology 4: Ring with one backbone device
In the following figure, one ICX 6610 device forms the backbone and there are six ICX 6450 peripheral devices in a ring topology. There
is one substack that contains all six peripheral devices.
Topology 4 shows that you can have a mixed stack with only one ICX 6610 device, although this configuration does not provide high
availability or resiliency for the stack because there is no standby controller.
