Default Stack and Network Ports
The following are the default stack and network ports:
• Sx500 Devices—When an Sx500 device operates in Native Stacking
mode, S1-S2-1G operate as regular network ports, and S3-S4-5G operate
as stack ports by default.
• SG500X/ESW2-550X Devices—S1-S2-10G are stack ports by default.
You can manually reconfigure S1-S2-10G and S1-S2-5G as network ports or
stack ports.
• SG500XG Devices—Any ports can be stack or network. By default the
device is standalone.
