Combining Stacking Port Types: Example

Note

The figure is intended to show cable connections between switches. Details of the switches themselves, such as the location of the stacking ports and fan modules, might differ from those of the switches that actually would be used.

The following cables are used to make the stacking connections:

QSFP+ cable connecting the two switches at the top (slot 1 and slot 2)
SFP+ cable connecting the switch in slot 2 with the switch in slot 3
SFP+ cable connecting the switch in slot 3 with the switch in slot 4
SFP+ cable connecting the switch in slot 4 with the switch in slot 5
SFP+ cable connecting the switch in slot 5 with the switch in slot 1

Combining Stacking Port Types: Connections lists the recommended order for connecting the stacking ports in this example.
