Stacking the Switches

Before configuring the switches as a stack, refer to the Cisco 500 Series

Stackable Managed Switch Administration Guide for additional details.

Refer to the front panel graphics in

Series Stackable Managed Switch, page 12

descriptions and supported modules.

The following graphic shows the stack ports to assist in connecting the

devices in a stack:

The 500X model is on the left, and the Sx500 model is on the right.

The default stack ports on the 500X are XG3/S1 and

XG4/S2. If the correct module is plugged into XG3/S1 and

XG4/S2, the switch should be able to detect the connection

and configure the speed according to the module capability

without any manual configuration. The 5G/S1 and 5G/S2

interfaces on the 500X need to be configured manually via

the CLI or web-based interface in order to utilize these ports

as stack ports.

The default stack ports on the 500 are S3 and S4. If the

correct module is plugged into S3 and S4, the switch should

able to detect the connection and configure the speed

according to the module capability without any manual

configuration. The S1 and S2 interfaces on the 500 need to be

configured manually via the CLI or web-based interface in

order to utilize these ports as stack ports.
