Managing a Switch Stack

1 For each switch in the stack, connect one of the short stacking cables from

stacking port one on the switch to stacking port two on the next switch.

2 If necessary, use a separately purchased, long (3 meter) stacking cable to

connect the switches. Repeat this process until all of the devices are

connected.

3 Use the remaining stacking cable to connect the remaining free ports, from

port one of the last switch to port two of the first switch.
