This accessory kit is utilised to connect two switches (GSM7328S or GSM7352S) together in order to configure them into an operational stack of switches. The kit supplies 2 AX742 Stacking modules and a single high-capacity stacking cable. A minimum of a single kit is required to create a stack between two switches.
A group of up to 8 switches can be interconnected to form a single stack by cascading the connections between switches. It is recommended that a final connection be established between the first and the last switch to create a ring topology. This provides two 24Gbps connections per switch within the stack. Once connected the stack operates as a 48Gbps resilient, self-healing, bi-directional ring.
