Because software supports only up to eight switches in a stack, the total maximum number of
Summit 400 series switches in a stack is 8. Two Summit 400-48 switches are already installed; therefore,
six Summit 400-24 switches can be in the stack.
Planning Switch Placement in the Rack
The Summit 200 and 300 series switches use the 1-gigabit Ethernet ports on the front of the switch as
stacking ports. The Summit 400 series switches have dedicated stacking ports on the back of the switch.
If you are mixing switch types in a stack, keep the following in mind:
• If only Summit 200 and 300 series switches are in the stack, all stacking connections happen at the
front of the switch using the 1-gigabit Ethernet ports.
• If only Summit 400 series switches are in the stack, stacking connections happen at the back of the
switch using the Extreme Networks-specified stacking cable and the dedicated stacking ports.
• Stacking Summit 200 or 300 series switches with Summit 400 series switches is not supported.
Figure 9 shows a typical stacked configuration using Summit 400 series switches, and Figure 9 shows a
typical stacked configuration using Summit 200 and 300 series switches. For more information about
stacking, see the
ExtremeWare User Guide .
