Combine Switches from Different Series

5320 Series switches can only stack with themselves or 5420 Series or 5520 Series switches using
Alternate stacking (10Gb link running at HG).

Select Stacking Cables

Stacking connections using the native stacking ports require stacking cables that are specific to the
type of stacking port. These cables are available from Extreme Networks in lengths from 0.5 meter to
100 meters.
Note
For the most recent information about available cables, contact your Extreme Networks sales
representative or refer to the
Caution
Use of non-recommended cables or optics could cause stack instability.
Note
Commands that contain the stacking-support keyword apply to the local switch only.
This means that each switch that will use alternate stacking ports must be configured
separately. When the stack is fully active, you can use the telnet slot slot-number
command to log in to another node over the stack to unconfigure SummitStack-V on that
node only. There is no way to intentionally or accidentally unconfigure the stacking-
support options on all nodes in a stack.
