Stacking the Switch
Switches in the series can be physically stacked by utilizing the last four ports on the front panel of the Switch. It is
possible to stack up to nine Switches, which can then be managed through a single connection to any of the LAN
ports using Telnet, the Web UI, and SNMP. This cost-effective Switch presents an economical solution for
administrators aiming to upgrade their networks, leveraging the stacking ports for scaling and stacking purposes. This
ultimately enhances overall reliability, serviceability, and availability.
The Switch supports the following stacking topologies:
Duplex Chain
- This topology interconnects Switches in a chain-link format, enabling data transfer in one
direction only. A disruption in the chain will impact data transfer.
Duplex Ring
- In this topology, Switches form a ring or circle, allowing data transfer in two directions. It is highly
robust, as even if the ring is broken, data can still be transmitted via the stacking cables between Switches
using an alternative route.
