Brocade traditional stacking topologies
Brocade traditional stacking technology supports linear and ring stack topologies. Although Brocade
stackable units may be connected in a simple linear topology, Brocade recommends a ring topology
because it offers the best redundancy and the most resilient operation.
Stacks that contain more than one type of device are called mixed stacks. For example, a mixed stack
contains ICX 6610 and ICX 6450 devices. For information about configuring a mixed stack, refer to the
“Mixed Stacking” chapter.
Traditional stacks must contain devices of the same type or product line. For example, a traditional
stack cannot contain both FCX and ICX 6450 devices. However, because they are models in the same
product line, a traditional stack can contain a mixture of both ICX 6450 and ICX 6430 devices.
FCX stack topologies
A Brocade traditional stack can contain all one model, or any combination of the FCX models. You can
mix 24-port and 48-port FCX devices in a single stack, to a maximum of eight units per stack.
