Stacking Switches in this series support stacking up to 12 switches together while being managed through one console connection or MGMT connection on the master switch or through any of the RJ45/SFP+/QSFP28 ports using Telnet, the Web UI, and SNMP. This cost-effective switch provides an affordable solution for administrators to upgrade their networks using the stacking ports to scale and stack the Switches. This increases overall reliability, serviceability, and availability. Switches in the series can be physically stacked with optical fiber cables or Direct Attached Cables (DACs) with QSFP+/QSFP28 connectors. Only the last 6 QSFP28 ports on the Switch can be used for physical stacking. The following stacking topologies are supported on the Switch:  Duplex Chain - This topology stacks switches together in a chain-link format. Using this method, data transfer is only possible in one direction. If there is a break in the chain, data transfer will be affected.  Duplex Ring - This topology stacks switches in a ring or circle format where data can be transferred in two directions. It 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 using the alternate path. 96
