Additional Stacking Considerations for X460-G2 Switches
When planning to use X460-G2 switches in a stack, note the following additional considerations:
•
When using the VIM-2ss module, you can enable stacking without enabling stacking-support
because the ports are native to the switch. All other VIMs require stacking-support to be enabled.
•
The X460-G2 switch has "protocol enhanced" set by default. (Older switches, such as the X460,
have "protocol standard" set by default. When you add a switch to a stack, make sure the new
switch has "protocol enhanced" set so that it can communicate with the X460-G2 switch and the
other switches in the stack.)

Summit X460-G2 (10G Models) Stack Configuration Guidelines
Before deploying a new stack with Summit X460-G2 10-gigabit switch models (10GE4), consider the
following guidelines:
•
In a stack that contains X460-G2 switches and other switch models, the X460-G2 switch might
provide more memory and more features than the other switch models. Take this into account when
you decide which switches will serve as the master and backup nodes, and when you configure
failover operation.
•
To use the failover feature in the stack, a second Summit X460-G2 switch is recommended. It must
be the backup node.
•
X460-G2 (10GE4) switches support SummitStack-V stacking on front panel 10G SFP+ ports, as well
as native stacking through an attached VIM-2q or VIM-2ss module.

On X460-G2 24-port 10GE4 switches, ports 31 and 32 are not available as data ports when
the alternate stacking ports are used.
On X460-G2 48-port 10GE4 switches, ports 51 and 52 are not available as data ports when
the alternate stacking ports are used.
