Extreme Networks Summit X150 Series Hardware Installation Manual page 182

The following figure shows an example of a four-switch stack that includes two Summit X650 series
switches. In the Summit X650 series switches, the SummitStack ports are on installed VIM1-
SummitStack modules. The Summit X650 series switches are placed at the top of the stack and will be
designated the stack master and backup nodes. The recommended order for connecting the stacking
ports is the same as for SummitStack Cable Connections Using Eight Summit Switches with Integrated
SummitStack Ports.

Multiple-Rack Stacking Configurations
The following shows two Summit X480 series switches and two Summit X650 series switches
physically located in two adjacent racks.
In each rack, a Summit X480 series switch is placed at the top, with a Summit X650 series switch below
it. The switches are connected into a stack using SummitStack ports on installed VIM2-SummitStack
and VIM1-SummitStack modules. In this example, start by connecting the Summit X480 switches
together; they will be designated the stack master and backup nodes (slot 1 and slot 2, respectively).
