S6730-S and S6730S-S Service Port Stacking Support
- For the cables that can be used as stack cables, see "Cables" in the Hardware Description. Using other cables may cause exceptions in the stack system, for example, frequent error-down events on stack ports.
- Any models of the S6730-S series can set up a stack. Any models of the S6730S-S series can set up a stack. A stack cannot be set up between the S6730-S and S6730S-S.
- The number of stacked switches is recommended to be 2 to 9. In addition, when using iMaster NCE-Campus to manage and maintain a stack, ensure that the stack has no more than four member switches.
- A switch supports a maximum of two logical stack ports.
- For stacking-supported service ports, some of them can be used as stack ports, whereas some can be used as ordinary service ports.
- Two types of ports on a switch can be both configured as stack ports, and each logical stack port can contain only one type of ports.
