Connecting devices in a mixed stack
ICX 6450 devices can operate as standalone devices and also as members of a mixed stack. A stack is a group of devices--Brocade
stackable units and their connected stacking links--that are connected so that the stack is managed as a single entity.
A mixed stack contains ICX 6610 devices and ICX 6450 devices. ICX 6610 devices form the backbone of the mixed stack. ICX 6450
devices are peripheral units that connect to the backbone and to other peripheral units.
The table below summarizes the ports used in mixed stacking.

ICX 6610 stacking ports and trunks
This section discusses the ports you can use to connect ICX 6610 devices in the backbone and to ICX 6450 devices.
Ports used to connect ICX 6610 devices in the backbone
The ICX 6610 device contains four ports in slot 2 on the rear panel that are dedicated stacking ports. They cannot be used as data ports,
even when stacking is not enabled. There are two 40 Gbps ports and two 4 x 10 Gbps ports arranged in two rows.
The stacking ports can be grouped into two trunks. Ports 1 and 2 on the top row can form trunk 0; ports 6 and 7 on the bottom row can
form trunk 1.
You can trunk stacking ports by connecting one port of each type (40 Gbps or 4 x 10 Gbps) to ports of the same type on another ICX
6610 device in the stack.
