• All the ports in a stack-group are placed in stacking mode. Unused ports in that group cannot be used
as data ports.
Figure 3 S4810 Stack-group assignments
You can connect the units while they are powered down or up. Stacking ports are bi-directional. The S4810
supports stacking in either a ring or a cascade topology. Force10 recommends the ring topology when
stacking S4810 switches, to provide redundant connectivity.

Connect two S4810 chassis
A recommended method to provide backup connectivity and increased data transfer between the units is to
insert an additional cable between the two units, in a second stacking port, as shown in
Figure 5 .
Any of the SFP+ or QSFP+ ports can be used for stacking, provided it is configured as a stacking port.
