Figure 1-9. Switch Stack Using 40GbE Ports on Two Aggregators

Use only QSFP transceivers and QSFP cables (separately purchased) to

connect stacking ports; for example:

1 Insert a QSFP cable in the bottom base-module port on the rightmost

Aggregator.

2 Connect the cable to the bottom base-module port on the next Aggregator

to the left.

3 On the leftmost Aggregator, connect the top base-module port to the top

base-module port on the rightmost Aggregator to create a loop.

NOTE:

The resulting topology allows the stack to function as a single switch with

resilient fail-over capabilities.
