Trunking requirements
•
You can connect one or both ports in a trunk. Connecting both ports in a trunk increases stacking
bandwidth and provides resiliency.
•
You must connect each port type (40 Gbps or 4x10 Gbps) to the same type of port on another
device as shown in the following table.
•
If you connect both ports in a trunk, both ports must connect to both ports of one trunk on another
device.

Stacking configuration requirements
Before configuring the traditional stack using the CLI, physically connect the devices using stacking
cables. For information about configuring a stack, refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch Stacking
Configuration Guide.
Stacking cables
Use 1 meter passive copper QSFP stacking cables or SFP+ fiber-optic cables to connect ICX 6610
devices in a traditional stack. 40G-QSFP-SR4 is also supported.
