Hub Cascading/Building a Stack You can stack up to five hubs using the daisy-chain ports to form one logical hub.

Repeat this procedure for each hub to be included in the stack. Making Connections 17

This chapter discusses how to make connections to the hub’s twisted-pair
ports, cascading hubs to create a stack, and linking with other hubs (or hub
stacks).
Hub Cascading/Building a Stack
You can stack up to five hubs using the daisy-chain ports to form one logi-
cal hub.
In this configuration, the interconnected hubs constitute a single
logical unit, providing a maximum of 40 twisted-pair ports.
Use the provided daisy-chain cable to connect the Daisy-Chain OUT port
on the rear panel of one hub to the Daisy-Chain IN port on the hub below
it, as shown in the figure below.
Repeat this procedure for each hub to be
included in the stack.
