Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking
The XEM2-4QS Line Card also supports QSFPICU and QSFP3CU
direct connect cables. As with the XEM2-12XT Line Card, you can
build stack trunks using XEM2-4QS Line Cards with either direct
connect cables or fiber optic transceivers, but not both. Figure 25
is an example of an unsupported trunk on XEM2-4QS Line Cards
because it uses both direct connect and fiber optic cables.
