Stacking M8024-k switches across multiple M1000e chassis Figure 6.
The above figure shows three M8024-k switches, each in slot C2 of three different M1000e chassis, and
all three wired for stacking using a single link. Using only a single link is standard when stacking
M8024-k switches that have no SFP+ expansion modules installed (see Figure 4). If an SFP+ expansion
port is installed, those ports may be used for stacking as well. If every switch in the stack has the
expansion module, then it is recommended to use at least two of the ports to link between stack
members to provide better resiliency and bandwidth.
The Dell M1000e Server Chassis includes a console redirect feature that allows you to manage each
M8024-k module from a single serial connection to the chassis. For more information about console
