Placing Units On Top of Each Other 23
Placing Units On
Top of Each Other
If the Switch units are free-standing, up to eight units can be placed one
on top of the other. If you are mixing a variety of SuperStack
®
3 Switch
and Hub units, the smaller units must be positioned at the top.
If you are placing Switch units one on top of the other, you must use the
self-adhesive rubber pads supplied. Apply the pads to the underside of
each Switch, sticking one in the marked area at each corner. Place the
Switch units on top of each other, ensuring that the pads of the upper
unit line up with the recesses of the lower unit.
Stacking Units Up to four Switch 4200 Series units can be stacked together and then
treated as a single manageable unit with one IP address. Any
combination of Switch 4200 Series units is allowed in a single stack. The
units are connected together via the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports on the
front of the unit as shown in Figure 6
. Starting from the base of the stack,
the port marked with ‘up’ is connected to the port marked with ‘down’
on the unit above. Cable lengths of between 14 cm (5.5 in) and
100 m (328 ft) can be used for stacking.
Figure 6 Stacking example
The unit LEDs will display the unit number in the stack, from 1 at the
bottom to 4 at the top.
3Com recommends that when you add a new unit to a stack, you should
first initialize it to factory default settings
Stack renumbering occurs when another Switch 4200 Series unit is added
to the bottom of an established stack except when the stack is already 4
units high. In this instance the ‘down’ port on the bottom unit of the
existing stack will be disabled and its LED will flash green. You will then
not be able to use that port again until the link is lost on that port.
