NOTE: A ring topology is recommended under normal operation because it provides increased resiliency when compared
with a daisy chain topology. In daisy chain topology, any change in a non-edge stack unit causes a split stack.

Example 2: Dual Daisy-Chain Stack Across Multiple Chassis
Using two separate, daisy-chained stacks in a stacking topology provides redundancy and increased high availability in case of stack
failure. Also, stacking upgrades are simplied when you have to take one stack oine, as shown in the following examle.
