Assembling a Switch Stack After you complete the initial configuration, the Aggregator is powered up and operational. Stacking is supported only on the 40GbE ports on the base module. Stacking is limited to two Aggregators in the same chassis in a single stack. Up to three stacks are supported in an M1000e chassis. To configure a switch stack, you must use the CLI. Cabling the Switch Stack Figure 1-9 shows a stacking example using two Aggregators in a chassis. The Aggregators are connected to operate as a single stack in a ring topology using only the 40GbE ports on the base modules. You can use the 40GbE ports on the base module to create a stack in either a ring or daisy-chain topology. Prerequisite: Before you attach the stacking cables, all Aggregators in the stack must be powered up with the default or reconfigured settings as described in "Reconfiguring Default Settings" on page 21.
