Page 45: Stacking Ports
GS700TS Smart Switch Software Administration Manual connects stacking members from one to the next. This provides a single data path flow. The stacking members linked in the middle of the chain are connected to the stacking member on either side of them. The members at the end of the chain only have one connection. Stacking Ring Topology One of the benefits of the Ring topology is that it offers redundancy in case the connections between two units fail, including the case where a unit in the stack fails.
Page 46: Removing And Replacing Stacking Members
GS700TS Smart Switch Software Administration Manual Removing and Replacing Stacking Members Stacking member 1 and stacking member 2 are Stacking Master enabled units. Unit Numbers 1 and 2 are designated as either Master Unit or Secondary Master Unit. The Stacking Master assignment is performed during the configuration process.
Page 47: Inserting A Stacking Member
GS700TS Smart Switch Software Administration Manual to a topology failure, the stacking member is no longer connected to the stack.
