    3 Managing OmniSwitch In addition to working as individual stand-alone switches, OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches can also be linked together to work as a single virtual chassis known as a stack. With stacks, users can easily expand their switching capacity simply by adding additional switches to the stack. In addition, stacks provide enhanced resiliency and redundancy features.

    Stack Cabling Redundant Stacking Cable Connection OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches allow redundant stacking cable connections between the top-most and bottom-most switches in a stack. Important. For a stacked configuration to have effective redundancy, a redundant stacking cable must be installed between the upper-most and bottom-most switch in the chassis at all times.
