CHAPTER 27
Stacking
27.1 Stacking Overview
This chapter introduces switch stacking and discusses how to configure stacking mode on the Switch to
form a switch system.
27.1.1 What You Can Do
• Use the Stacking Status screen (Section 27.2 on page 204) to view the stacking system status and
topology for the Switch.
• Use the Stacking Setup screen (Section 27.3 on page 207) to configure the stacking system.
• Use the Stacking Port Setup screen (Section 27.4 on page 209) to select the media type, SFP+
transceiver or Direct Attach Copper (DAC) that is attached to the 10 Gigabit interface.
27.1.2 What you need to know
Stacking is directly connecting Switches to form a larger system that behaves as a single Switch or a
virtual chassis with increased port density.
Figure 148 Switch Stacking Concept
The last four combo ports of your Switch are dedicated for Switch stacking. At the time of writing, the
Switch can only connect to another Switch of the same model and firmware version.
Note: Up to four Switches per stack are allowed.
You can manage each Switch in the stack from a master Switch using its Web Configurator or console.
Each Switch supports up to two stacking channels. Use the master Switch to assign a ‘slot ID’ for each
‘linecard’ non-master Switch. ‘Slot’ refers to a Switch in the ‘virtual chassis’ stack.
