ICX 6610 stacking ports and trunks
This section discusses the ports you can use to connect ICX 6610 devices in the backbone and to ICX
6450 devices.
Ports used to connect ICX 6610 devices in the backbone
The ICX 6610 device contains four ports in slot 2 on the rear panel that are dedicated stacking ports.
They cannot be used as data ports, even when stacking is not enabled. There are two 40 Gbps ports
and two 4 x 10 Gbps ports arranged in two rows.
The stacking ports can be grouped into two trunks. Ports 1 and 2 on the top row can form trunk 0;
ports 6 and 7 on the bottom row can form trunk 1.
You can trunk stacking ports by connecting one port of each type (40 Gbps or 4 x 10 Gbps) to ports of
the same type on another ICX 6610 device in the stack.
