Creating a Stack
You can connect up to eight switches to form a stack with a single management IP address.
The switches automatically select a master unit. Once the master is selected, you can use its
console to manage all the switches in the stack.

Two of the I/O module slots can be used for stacking, while the remaining two I/O module
bays can be used for 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplinks.

To set up a stack:
1.
Install up to two 24-Gigabit Stackable Modules (AX742) into the high-speed I/O module
bays at the front or the rear of each switch.

2.
Connect the stacking cable between a pair of AX742 modules in each switch in a stack.

3.
Connect each switch to the next in a cascade to build the backplane of the stack. Finally,
connect the last switch in the stack to the first switch, to close the ring and provide
redundancy and resiliency to the stack.

To use the console and Command Line Interface (CLI), use a serial cable to connect the
console to the master switch. This single console connection lets you manage all the
switches in the stack.
