Figure 2-4. Star Topology Stacked Switch Group
The stacking ports are designated 1 to 6, and the stacking port being used will have its matching LED (on the
front panel) light a steady green when in use. Connection can be made from any stacking port to any of the two
stacking ports on a DGS-3324SR utilizing a 10-gigabit stacking cable.
Configuring a Switch Group for Stacking
The DGS-3324SRi may be used as a standalone switch or may be a master switch for a switch-stacking group.
Once DGS-3324SR switches have been added to the Switch, the DGS-3324SRi automatically becomes the
master switch of the stack and no configuration is necessary.
Gigabit Combo Ports
In addition to the 24 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, the Switch features eight Mini-GBIC Combo ports. These eight
ports are 10/100/1000BASE-T copper ports (built-in) and Mini-GBIC ports (optional). Please note that the Mini-
GBIC ports are used instead of the built-in 10/100/1000BASE-T ports. The Mini-GBIC ports will not work
simultaneously with its corresponding 10/100/1000BASE-T port. For example, if port 24x is used on the Mini
GBIC module, port 24 is not available for the 10/100/1000BASE-T built-in port, and vice versa.
