Connecting ICX 6450 and ICX 6430 devices in a stack
ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 support linear and ring stack topologies, and can also operate as
standalone devices. ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 devices have four ports on the front panel for a
stacking configuration. ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 devices ship with two default stacking ports
configured. When stacking is enabled, ports 1 and 3 are dedicated to stacking and cannot be used
for data ports. Use the stack-port command to select only one of these default ports as the
stacking port. If you do not select a default port as the stacking port, both default ports will operate
as stacking ports. For more information about using the stack-port command on ICX 6430 and ICX
6450 devices, refer to “Error messages encountered during the configuration of an ICX 6430 or ICX
6450 IronStack” on page 269. If stacking is not enabled on the ports, then all four stacking ports
