ICX 7150 stacking topologies

Both linear and ring topologies are supported in a traditional stack. In a linear stack topology, a connection between each switch carries
two-way communications across the stack. The physical connection between the devices can use one port (stacked-port) or two ports
(stacked-trunk) per trunk.
In ring stack topology, an extra connection between the logical first and last devices forms a "ring" or "closed-loop." The closed-loop
connection provides a redundant path for the stack link, so if one link fails, stack communications can be maintained. You can connect
stacking units using one port per trunk or both ports in a trunk. For maximum bandwidth and link redundancy, use both ports per trunk.
Linear and ring topologies are depicted for different ICX 7150 models in the following figures.
NOTE
Port numbers shown are specific to each physical unit; that is, the unit ID is 1, in the three-tuple StackID/slot/port notation.
Assuming the stack in the following figure is numbered from the bottom when it is configured, the connected stacking port for the
bottom stack (stack unit 1) would be identified as port 1/3/2, and the connected port in the middle stack unit (stack unit 2) would
be identified as 2/3/1. Port 2/3/2 in the middle stack unit would be shown as connecting to port 3/3/1 in the top unit (stack unit
3).
NOTE
The Secure-setup utility used to discover and configure the stack assigns each unit a different stack ID. You can override the
automatic selection if you choose. Refer to the
The following figures show examples of supported stacking topologies for the ICX 7150-C12P.
