To daisy-chain up to four chassis:
1.
Connect the GB port of the active CMC in the first chassis to the management network.
2.
Connect the GB port of the active CMC in the second chassis to the STK port of the active CMC in the first chassis.
3.
If you have a third chassis, connect the GB port of its active CMC to the STK port of the active CMC in the second
chassis.
4.
If you have a fourth chassis, connect the GB port of its active CMC to the STK port of the third chassis.
5.
If you have redundant CMCs in the chassis, connect them using the same pattern.
CAUTION: The STK port on any CMC must never be connected to the management network. It can only be
connected to the GB port on another chassis. Connecting a STK port to the management network can disrupt
the network and cause a loss of data. Cabling GB and STK to the same network (broadcast domain) can
cause a broadcast storm.
NOTE: Do not connect an active CMC to a standby CMC.
NOTE: Resetting a CMC whose STK port is chained to another CMC can disrupt the network for CMCs that
appear later in the chain. The child CMCs may log messages indicating that the network link has been lost
and they may fail over to their redundant CMCs.
