  • Stacking Ports and Optical Modules

    Stacking Ports and Optical Modules

    Stack setup requires only common network cables or fibers but not dedicated stack cables. Optical ports are connected using high-speed cables, AOC cables, or optical modules and optical fibers; electrical ports are connected using Category 6A or Category 7 cables. It is recommended that you add at least two stack member ports to a stack port to improve stack link bandwidth and reliability. To enhance network scalability, reliability, and ease of management, these switches support stacking technology. Stacking allows multiple physical switches to be. Available Stacking Cables for Extreme Networks Switches lists the cable types that have been verified by Extreme Networks for use as stack connection hardware, along with the switches or modules with which each type is compatible. Use of non-recommended cables or optics could cause stack. Switch stacking is to combine multiple switch devices that support stacking features, and then use dedicated cables and modules to plug in ports with stacking functions, connect these switches together, and combine them logically into a switching device. It will also provide detailed stacking cable connection.
