Figure 3-11. Up to 6 Switches in a Switch Stack
The stacking ports are marked
IN
and
OUT
. The IEEE 1394
compliant cable must be connected from an
IN
port on one
switch to an
OUT
port on the next switch in the stack. The last
two switches (at the top and bottom of the stack) must also be
connected from the
IN
port on one switch to the
OUT
port on
the other switch. In this way, a loop is made such that all of
the switches in the switch stack have the
IN
stacking port
connected to another switch’s
OUT
stacking port.
The Stacking Module’s LED indicators are described below.
