Typical Topology Of A Stack - Huawei Quidway S3700 Series Configuration Manual

Quidway S3700 Series Ethernet Switches
Configuration Guide - Device Management
After a stack system is created, the entire stack system logically functions as one switch. The
features supported by stacking are configured the same whether in a stack system or in a non-
stack system. For more details, see the related configuration guide.

3.4 Typical Topology of a Stack

This section describes two typical topologies of a stack.
Ring Topology
The typical topology of a stack is a ring topology. As shown in
the Switches are connected through leased stack cables.

NOTE
Stack interfaces on the Switches are connected through leased stack cables. Usually, the first two GE
interfaces of the S3700-28TP and the S3700-52TP are stack interfaces.
NOTE
Do not directly connect stack ports on the same switch to form a loop.
