Mesh Topologies

Two to five switches may be stacked using mesh topologies.
In mesh topologies, every switch in the stack is connected to every other switch in the stack.
Hence, with four stacking ports on the Stacking Module, the maximum number of switches that
can be meshed together is limited to five.
Mesh topologies provide the most protection from stacking failures because communications
can be rerouted through multiple paths.
Typical mesh topologies are illustrated in
