Hardware Installation Guide for Managed Stackable Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switches Stacking Switches Up to eight switches can be stacked. The last two ports on the right side of the front panel of each switch are preconfigured for stacking. These are ports 27 and 28 for the FSM7328S, and ports 51 and 52 for the FSM7352S and FSM7352PS. Note: You can connect and establish a link with non-stacking interfaces, but no traffic will pass across the interface. To set up a stack: 1. Connect the switches using a standard Category 5 Ethernet cable on the stacking ports, as shown: The number of RJ-45 ports depends on the switch model, but the stacking ports are always on the right side of the front panel. Figure 3-2 2. The switches automatically select the master switch in the stack. 3. To use the console and Command Line Interface (CLI), connect the console to the master switch. This single console connection enables you to manage all of the switches in the stack. For information about working with the CLI, see the Command Line Interface Reference for the ProSafe 7300S Series Layer-3 Stackable Switches on the NETGEAR CD that shipped with your product.
