Connecting a SummitStack 64G/20G Stacking Cable
SummitStack 64G/20G cables are used to connect the 64-Gbps stacking ports on Summit X480 series
switches to 20-Gbps stacking ports on Summit X480 series, Summit X650 series, or other Summit series
switches. The 64-Gbps ports are on VIM2-SummitStack128 modules in Summit X480 series switches.
The 20-Gbps ports are on one of the following:
VIM1-10G8X module installed in a Summit X650 series switch
●
VIM1-SummitStack module in a Summit X650 series switch
●
VIM2-SummitStack module in a Summit X480 series switch
●
Rear panel of Summit X250e, X450, X450a, or X450e series switches.
