Using port 51 and 52 as stack port in X440-G2-48p-10GE4

[Hunter_Blackwo1]

I must be missing something. In the x440 I remember stacking using just plain copper cables. Can I not do that using port 51 and 52 with the X440-G2-48p-10GE4 ?

Hi, Hunter. Here are a couple of sections in the Hardware Installation Guide that you might find helpful:

• Stacking Considerations for X440-G2 Switches
• Stacking Cables

For the X440-G2 48-port models, the stacking ports are 49 and 50. 10GBASE-CR SFP+ cables are available in various lengths.

Hello Hunter,

Stacking requires a 10g connection. If you would like to do alternate stacking then you need to use the ports specified in the "show stacking-support" output.
