Tick the Replace check box to replace the current running configuration with the indicated configuration file. Click the Apply button to initiate the copy. Click the Cancel button the discard the process. Physical Stacking The Switch supports switch stacking, where a set of 6 switches can be combined to be managed by one IP address through Telnet, the Web User Interface, the RJ45 console port, or through SNMP. Each switch of this series has two stacking ports located at the front of the device, which can be used to connect other devices and make them stack together. After adding these stacking ports, the user may connect these ports together using fiber cables or Direct Attach Cables (DAC) in one of two possible topologies. Duplex Chain - As shown in Figure 4-45, The Duplex Chain topology stacks switches together in a chain-link format. Using this method, data transfer is only possible in one direction and if there is a break in the chain, then data transfer will obviously be affected. Duplex Ring - As shown in Error! Reference source not found., the Duplex Ring stacks switches in a ring or circle format where data can be transferred in two directions. This topology is very resilient due to the fact that if there is a break in the ring, data can still be transferred through the stacking cables between switches in the stack. 63
