Building a SummitStack Configuration
Stacking Cables
Depending on the switch model and the number and type of stacking ports, the bidirectional stacking
link provides 40 Gbps, 256 Gbps, or 512 Gbps full duplex bandwidth. Stacking connections using the
native stacking ports require stacking cables that are specific to the type of stacking port. These cables
are available from Extreme Networks in lengths from 0.5 meter to 100 meters.
