  • Page 88: Base Unit

    Chapter 1 About Ethernet Switches 325 and 425 The Ethernet Switch 425 does not support stack redundancy. In case of cable or unit failure, all units of the stack begin to work as standalone switches. However, the stack is automatically formed again once the missing cable is re-inserted or the faulty unit is replaced.

  • Page 89: Stack Mac Address

    Chapter 1 About Ethernet Switches 325 and 425 For example, when you initially power up the stack, the base unit becomes unit 1 and the unit that the base unit connects to becomes unit 2 (and the next unit is unit 3 and so on), until the maximum stack configuration (up to 8 units) is reached.

    Chapter 1 About Ethernet Switches 325 and 425 Stack configurations As shown in Figure 16, the cable connectors provide the ability to stack up to eight switches. Because stack parameters are associated with the base unit (see “Base unit” on page 88), the physical stack order depends on the base unit’s position and whether the stack is configured stack up or stack down.
