Flexible Stacking

The Series 6400cl Switch devices can be connected together in two
configurations depending on your need:

High performance stack

This configuration provides:

■

228 gigabit ports

■

4.8 to 1 over-subscription

In this configuration each 3400cl switch is connected separately to it’s own
port on the 6400cl providing 10-GbE connectivity to the 6400cl switch and the
6400cl switch is connected to the core using 10-GbE as well.

This topology also demonstrates an example of incorporating the use of a
redundant power supply to support the 3400cl switches.
