FCX stack topologies shows FCX-E devices in a linear topology stack.
FIGURE 3 FCX-E linear topology stack using SFP+ module ports
The following figure shows a mixed linear topology stack of FCX-S, FCXS-F, and FCX-E or FCX-I
devices. Because the FCX-E and FCX-I devices are cabled from the front panel, and FCX-S and FCXS-
F devices are cabled from the rear panel by default, you need to reconfigure the default stacking ports
