VCS Stacking

Modules, Cables, and Connections

The stacks are connected via the stacking ports on the VCS Stacking
Modules (AT-StackXG), which are installed in the back of each switch.

The following cables are used to connect the stacking ports of x600 series
switches:

ˆ

High Speed Stacking Cables (0.5 meter) - StackXG/0.5

ˆ

High Speed Stacking Cables (1.0 meter) - StackXG/1

This configuration, shown in Figure 23,

uses two switches that are

connected back to back via two high-speed stacking links. Note that
stacking ports labeled 1 must connect to stacking ports labeled 2. In this
configuration the stack can still function using only a single high speed
link.
