If you are installing this switch in a stacked configuration, repeat this procedure for
each switch until all switches have been installed in the stack, then proceed to
"Connecting High‐Speed Stacking Cables" on page 3‐10. Otherwise, proceed to
"Connecting AC and PoE Power" on page 3‐15.
Connecting High-Speed Stacking Cables
The stack of switches can be connected in a ring or daisy chain topology. In a ring
topology all the switches are connected. The only difference in the cable connections in a
daisy chain topology is that one cable is not installed.
Up to 8 switches can be stacked together using C2CAB‐SHORT and C2CAB‐LONG
high‐speed stacking cables. You can add switches and reach up to a maximum of 384
Ethernet ports per stack. The high‐speed stacking cables allow the entire stack to operate
with a single IP address.
