For a star architecture, only one of the two Gigabit stacking ports will be in use. This port will be connected to the master switch of the switch stack and will act as a slave switch of the stack.
  • Page 31: Stacking Limitations Utilizing A Ring Or Star Toplogy

    For stacking the in a ring architecture, both SIO ports will be in use, as shown in the following diagram. Up to 12 DXS-3326GSR switches may be stacked together in the ring architecture switch stack, though there are limitations on stacking, which will be discussed in the following section.
  • Page 32 Number of Switches ≤ 16 For this example, a maximum of 16 DXS-3326GSR switches (where all of these switches have a 10G uplink) can be ring stacked according to the previous calculations, but we must remember that there is a maximum limitation of 12 switches, so the actual maximum number of DXS-3326GSR switches that can be stacked together in the ring topology is twelve.
  • Page 33 Number of Switches ≤ 32/4 Number of Switches ≤ 8 In this case, a maximum of eight DXS-3326GSR switches (where all of these switches have a 10G uplink) can be ring stacked.

    Port trunk groups are used to combine a number of ports together to make a single high-bandwidth data pipeline. The DXS-3326GSR supports up to 32 port trunk groups with two to eight ports in each group. This includes link aggregation groups that spread over multiple switches in the switch stack.
  • Page 56 DXS-3326GSR Gigabit Layer 3 Switch Figure 6- 8. Example of Port Trunk Group The Switch treats all ports in a trunk group as a single port. Data transmitted to a specific host (destination address) will always be transmitted over the same port in a trunk group. This allows packets in a data stream to arrive in the same order they were sent.
