Trunking requirements
•
You can connect one or both ports in a trunk. Connecting both ports in a trunk increases stacking bandwidth and provides
resiliency.
•
You must connect each port type (40 Gbps or 4x10 Gbps) to the same type of port on another device as shown in the
following table.
•
If you connect both ports in a trunk, both ports must connect to both ports of one trunk on another device.

Stacking configuration requirements
Before configuring the traditional stack using the CLI, physically connect the devices using stacking cables. For information about
configuring a stack, refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch Stacking Configuration Guide.
Stacking cables
Use 1 meter passive copper QSFP stacking cables or SFP+ fiber-optic cables to connect ICX 6610 devices in a traditional stack. The
40G-QSFP-SR4 optical transceiver is also supported.
Stack size
A traditional stack can contain a maximum of eight ICX 6610 devices.
