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. The following figure shows the stacking ports
and trunks.

Trunking requirements
•
You can connect one or both ports in a trunk. Connecting both ports in a trunk increases stacking
bandwidth and provides resiliency.
•
You must connect each port type (40 Gbps or 4x10 Gbps) to the same type of port on another
device as shown in the following table.

If you connect both ports in a trunk, both ports must connect to both ports of one trunk on another
device.
NOTE
If you use the Secure Setup utility to set up a mixed stack, the stacking units (ICX 6610 devices and
ICX 6450 devices) are automatically trunked.
