Here are the guidelines:
Only one port in a combo is active at a time. It can be either the
Ethernet copper port or a corresponding SFP module.
The Ethernet copper port is the active combo port when its SFP
port is empty or the SFP module is not linked to an end node.
The SFP port is the active combo port when its SFP transceiver
establishes a link with a network device. The Ethernet port is
placed in a blocking state.
VCStack Feature
The VCStack feature is used to manage up to four FS980M Switches
as a single virtual unit. The switches synchronize their actions so that
switching operations (such as spanning tree protocols, virtual LANs,
and static port trunks) span across all the ports and switches. Two
advantages of stacks are:
You can manage multiple units simultaneously, which can
simplify network management.
You can add redundancy to your network topology by distributing
network functions across different switches. For example, the
ports of a static port trunk on a standalone switch have to be from
on the same switch. In contrast, the ports of a static trunk in a
stack can be from different switches in the same stack.
