Cisco 500 Series Stackable Managed Switch Administration Guide Release 1.3

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 and S2 operate as regular network ports, and S3 and S4 operate
as stack ports by default.
• SG500X Devices—S1 and S2 are stack ports by default. You can manually
reconfigure S1/S2 and S3/S4 as network ports or stack ports.
When you convert a device from one of the Stacking modes to Standalone mode,
all its stack ports automatically become regular network ports.
