The switches used are in a Daisy-chain or “Stack” configuration and are connected with these special stack interconnection cables. These cables generate a bidirectional closed loop path. Within this loop, packets are apportioned between logical counter rotating paths so that if a switch or cable failure is detected, traffic is wrapped back around across the remaining path. This allows the stack to continue to function, without partitioning, if a switch were to go offline Connectzone.com stocks CAB-STK-E-3M FlexStack cables. Before connecting the switches in a stack, keep in mind these switch stack guidelines:
  1. Connect only Catalyst 2960-S switches in a switch stack. You cannot stack the Catalyst 2960-S switches with Catalyst 3750-E switches, 3750 switches, or 2975 switches.
  2. Install the FlexStack module and the FlexStack cable for stacking capability
  3. Length of FlexStack cable. Depending on your configurations, you might require different sized cables.
