2424m Gigabit Stacking Module Installation Guide 1999-03

Sample Connections

The HP Gigabit Stacking Module allows you to easily stack multiple Switch

2424Ms with gigabit speed while at the same time connecting the stack to

network backbones, servers and other network devices with gigabit fiber-

optic connections. The following illustration shows an example of these

connections.

Stacking

Using the Gigabit Stacking Kit (two Gigabit Stacking Transceivers and

1/2-meter Stacking Cable—HP J4116A), you can stack up to seven Switch

2424Ms together.

Stacking connections between

the Switch 2424M units.

One HP Gigabit Stacking Kit

(part number HP J4116A)

provides the two Gigabit

Stacking Transceivers and

1/2-meter cable needed to

connect two switches

together.

Note that either transceiver

slot on the Gigabit Stacking

Module can be used for a

stacking connection.

Note:

If the stack is connected

to a backbone switch or

other switches, the

number of switches in

the stack must be

reduced so that the total

number of intercon-

nected switches is at

most seven.
