Stacking the Switches
Before configuring the switches as a stack, refer to the Cisco 500 Series
Stackable Managed Switch Administration Guide for additional details.
Refer to the front panel graphics in
Series Stackable Managed Switch, page 12
descriptions and supported modules.
The following graphic shows the stack ports to assist in connecting the
devices in a stack:
The 500X model is on the left, and the Sx500 model is on the right.
The default stack ports on the 500X are XG3/S1 and
T
IP
XG4/S2. If the correct module is plugged into XG3/S1 and
XG4/S2, the switch should be able to detect the connection
and configure the speed according to the module capability
without any manual configuration. The 5G/S1 and 5G/S2
interfaces on the 500X need to be configured manually via
the CLI or web-based interface in order to utilize these ports
as stack ports.
The default stack ports on the 500 are S3 and S4. If the
T
IP
correct module is plugged into S3 and S4, the switch should
able to detect the connection and configure the speed
according to the module capability without any manual
configuration. The S1 and S2 interfaces on the 500 need to be
configured manually via the CLI or web-based interface in
order to utilize these ports as stack ports.
