either of the two available stacking ports to achieve this architecture. See the following diagram for an example of stacking
in a star architecture.
For stacking in a ring architecture, all SIO ports will be in use, as shown in the following diagram. Up to 12 xStack
DGS/DXS-3300 Series may be stacked together in the ring architecture switch stack, though there are limitations on
stacking, which will be discussed in the following section.

NOTICE: Do not connect the stacked Switch group to the network until all
Switches have been properly configured for stacking. An improperly
configured Switch stack can cause a broadcast storm.
