Stacking
You can connect up to four 20-port SANbox 5200 switches together through the
10 Gbps ports, thus preserving the user ports for devices. This is called stacking.
The following 2-, 3-, and 4-switch stacking configurations are recommended for
best performance and redundancy. Each 10 Gbps port contributes 1 GBps of
bandwidth between chassis with one chassis hop between any two ports. A
two-switch stack uses two XPAK switch stacking cables as shown in Figure 3-1.
32 1Gbps/2Gbps ports are available for devices.
Figure 3-1. Two-Switch Stack
A three-switch stack uses three XPAK switch stacking cables as shown in
Figure 3-2. 48 1Gbps/2Gbps ports are available for devices.
