Connecting devices in a stack
The Ruckus ICX 7450 can operate as a standalone device or as a member of a stack. A stack is a group of devices—Ruckus stackable
units and their connected stacking links—that are connected so that the stack is managed as a single entity.
You can mix any Ruckus ICX 7450 models together in a stack. A stack cannot contain other device types.
Stacking ports
There are two QSFP+ ports on the rear panel that can be used as stacking ports. The following figure shows these ports in slot 3 and slot
4 (right to left).

Stacking ports (rear panel)
Ports 1/3/1 and 1/4/1 are default stacking ports. Default stacking ports have the capability to accept special stacking packets during a
CLI-initiated command sequence of the Secure Setup utility.
The 4x10 GbE SFP+ ports on the front panel can also be used as stacking ports. The following figure shows these ports in slot 2. 10 GbE
stacking is not supported in slots 3 and 4. The 4x10 GbE copper module (ICX7400-4X10GC) does not support stacking.
