xStack DGS/DXS-3300 Series Layer 3 Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch User Manual Stacking In a Star Topology In this case, the DGS-3324SRi is the Master Switch in a star topology and up to six slave switches can be stacked with Master Stackable Switch. Check the following examples as a reference guide. For examples, we can: • Make a star stack consisting of one DGS-3324SRi (Master), six DXS-3350SRs (no modules). Our switch count would equal 6 + 1 and our token cost would equal twenty-six (2 + 24 = 26 ≤ 32). Success! • Make a star stack consisting of one DGS-3324SRi (Master), one DGS-3324SR, two DXS-3326GSRs (no modules), three DXS-3350SRs (one with module). Our switch count would equal 6 + 1 and our token cost would equal twenty-two (2 + 2 + 4 + 14 = 22 ≤ 32). Success! From these examples, we can see that there is a myriad of combinations possible for adding switches and modules to a given stack. Yet, keep in mind three very important points in configuring the stack: 1. The total Token Cost of switches stacked must not exceed 32. 2. The total switch count of switches stacked in a ring topology cannot exceed 12. 3. The total switch count of switches stacked in a star topology cannot exceed 6 + 1. NOTE: The total token cost of switches in a switch stack cannot exceed 32. Surpassing this token cost limitation will result in failure of the Switch stack and render the switches in it inoperable. 22
