topology with six ICX 6450 devices connected as peripherals. Each ICX 6610 device is directly
connected to each ICX 6450 device. Each ICX 6450 device is connected to two ICX 6610 devices.

Other stacking topologies
The following mixed stacking topology comprises of two ICX 6610 devices in a ring topology with six
peripheral devices. Each ICX 6610 device has three peripheral links. Each ICX 6450 device is
connected directly to one ICX 6610 device.
FIGURE 23 Ring Topology
The following mixed stacking topology comprises of one active controller device with six peripheral
devices. The ICX 6610 device has six peripheral links. Each peripheral is connected directly to the ICX
6610 device.
NOTE
If a topology is not a valid mixed stacking topology, then the following warning message will be
displayed on the console or as part of the output from the show stack and show stack stack-ports
commands. *** Warning! The current HyperEdge topology is not a validated
topology. Please refer to documentation for more details.
