10BASE-T Stackable Hubs can take on different roles depending on the type of hub it is and its position in the hub stack. Position Within the Stack Hubs in the hub stack are connected using the daisy-chain ports located at the rear of the hub. Each hub has an IN port and an OUT port. Hubs are daisychained together by connecting the OUT port of one hub to the IN port of the next hub in the chain. A typical stack arrangement is shown below. Daisy Chain In Out In Out In Out Figure 4 -1 Typical Stack Arrangement All hubs connected (directly or indirectly) through the IN port of a hub can be considered upstream of that hub, and all hubs connected (directly or indirectly) through the OUT port of the hub can be considered downstream. If a hub does not have any upstream hubs, it is at the head of the stack. Master Hub Roles You can include more than one master hub in a hub stack. This allows you to continue to manage the hub stack, even if the management agent of one of the master hubs fails. The hub currently managing the stack is called the Active Master and other master hubs in the stack are called Standby Masters. If a master hub is at the head of the stack, it automatically becomes the Active Master. Otherwise, it will wait for management commands from 4-2 Building Hub Stacks
