Ring configuration
A VCStack using x310 Series switches can comprise up to four stack members connected
in a ring topology.
shows a ring comprising three stacked
x310 switches.
Because alternate paths are provided between the stack members’ stacking links, this
topology offers a very resilient configuration.

Resilient Stacked Topology
Where network connectivity uptime is a major criteria, you can use virtual chassis stacking
to create highly reliable network configurations. The network shown in
employs redundant links and switches to create a stacked network that offers extremely
reliable user connectivity.
