Connecting Stacking Cable - Planet Networking & Communication SGS-5220 User Manual

2.3.1 Connecting Stacking Cable

Before attempting to connect stacking ports, verify that you have the required stack cables. The following cables are used to
connect stacked switches:
• CB-DASFP-0.5M: 10G SFP+ Directly-attached Copper Cable (0.5M in length)
• CB-DASFP-2M: 10G SFP+ Directly-attached Copper Cable (2M in length)
• MTB-LR: SFP+ Port 10GBASE-LR mini-GBIC Module (single-mode/1310nm/max. 10km).
• MTB-SR: SFP+ Port 10GBASE-SR mini-GBIC Module (multi-mode/850nm/max. 300m)
• Standard 10GBASE-LR/SR mini-GBIC SFP+ Module.
There are two high-performance SFP+ stacked ports on the rear panel for proprietary management stack.
Step 1: Plug one end of the cable into the "STX1" port and the other end into the "STX2" port of the next device.
Step 2: Repeat the step for every device in the stack cluster, and then ending with the last switch.
Step 3: If you wish to implement stack redundancy, use the long stack cable to connect the stack port marked "STX1" on the
bottom switch to the port marked "STX2" on the top switch of the stack.
The stack port is for management and data packets to be transmitted between other SGS-5220
stackable switch series. The stack ports can't be configured with Layer 2 features via management
interface.
Step 4: Power up the stack switches.
