NOTE
The secure-setup utility starts discovery with the lowest numbered. Assuming the top unit is the Active Controller, the cabling
depicted is recommended so that units are discovered and numbered sequentially, starting from the Active Controller at the top.
Refer to the
Ruckus FastIron Stacking Configuration Guide
for more information on secure-setup discovery.

40 GbE linear stacking topology
In a ring stack topology, there is an extra connection between the logical first and last devices, forming a “ring” or “closed-loop.” The
closed-loop connection provides a redundant path for the stack link, so if one link fails, stack communications can be maintained.
For example, in a three-unit stack using a ring topology, unit 1 connects to unit 2, unit 2 connects to unit 3, and unit 3 connects to unit 1.
