    Appendix A: Mixed Stacks This appendix covers deployment of the C360 in mixed stack environments. Please refer to the relevant section for information. Tip: For additional information, see the Release Notes or the Avaya Support site: Tip: http://support.avaya.com. You may stack the C360 with P333T-PWR, P332G-ML and P332GT-ML switches and G700 Media Gateway, subject to certain limitations which are described in this appendix.

  • Page 226: Hardware Compatibility

    This section describes hardware compatibility issues. Stacking Tip: It is recommended to put the C360 switches at the bottom or top of a mixed stack Tip: for easier connection of cables. You may use the same Octaplane cables for stacking all the switches. However, the stacking modules are not interchangeable.
