The illustrations in this section display cabling configuration examples that show
the stack bandwidth and possible stack partitioning.
Figure 3-2 shows an example of a stack of Catalyst 3750 switches that provides
full bandwidth and redundant connections.
Figure 3-2 Example of a Stack with Full Bandwidth Connections
Figure 3-3 shows an example of a stack of Catalyst 3750 switches with
incomplete cabling connections. This stack provides only half bandwidth and
does not have redundant connections.

Figure 3-5 link B is bad; therefore, this stack partitions into two stacks with
switch 1 and switch 3 being stack masters.
