Chapter 2 Switch Installation Data Stack Cabling Configurations Figure 2-3 shows a recommended configuration when the switches are mounted side-by-side. Use the 1-meter and the 3-meter StackWise cables to connect the switches. This configuration provides redundant connections. Figure 2-3 Data Stacking up to Eight Switches in a Side-by-Side Mounting 86825 Data Stack Bandwidth and Partitioning Examples This section provides examples of data stack bandwidth and possible data stack partitioning.

In Figure 2-6, the StackWise cable is bad in link 2. Therefore, this stack provides only half bandwidth and does not have redundant connections. In Figure 2-7, link 2 is bad. Therefore, this stack partitions into two stacks, and the top and bottom switches become stack masters.

Switch Installation
Data Stack Cabling Configurations
Figure 2-3
shows a recommended configuration when the switches are mounted side-by-side. Use the
1-meter and the 3-meter StackWise cables to connect the switches. This configuration provides
redundant connections.

Data Stack Bandwidth and Partitioning Examples
This section provides examples of data stack bandwidth and possible data stack partitioning.
Figure 2-4
shows a data stack of Catalyst 3750-X switches that provides full bandwidth and redundant
StackWise cable connections.
Figure 2-4
Example of a Data Stack with Full Bandwidth Connections
Figure 2-5
shows an example of a stack of Catalyst 3750-X switches with incomplete StackWise cabling
connections. This stack provides only half bandwidth and does not have redundant connections.
Figure 2-5
Example of a Data Stack with Half Bandwidth Connections
Figure 2-6
and
Figure 2-7
show data stacks of Catalyst 3750-X switches with failover conditions. In
Figure 2-6
, the StackWise cable is bad in link 2. Therefore, this stack provides only half bandwidth and
does not have redundant connections. In
Figure 2-7
, link 2 is bad. Therefore, this stack partitions into
two stacks, and the top and bottom switches become stack masters.
