For more information about using the management extension ports, see
“Extending Management to Remote Cascades” on page 2-9.
11 Cascade Connectors
Optional cascade connectors allow you to connect a stack of up to 10 hubs as a
single multisegment cascade (see F
igure 1-11). All hubs in the same cascade
that are assigned to the same segment operate as a single Ethernet repeater.
Figure 1-11. Cascade of four BayStack 100-series hubs
To connect two hubs with an optional cascade cable, plug one end of the cable
into the Cascade Down connector on the top hub and the other end of the cable
into the Cascade Up connector of the hub below it. For more information about
cascading hubs in a stack, see “Connecting the Stack with Cascade Cables” on
page 2-6.
12 Expansion Slot
An expansion slot allows you to install an optional network management
module. This slot comes with a filler panel installed. For more information
about the features, installation, and function of an NMM in the expansion slot,
refer to Using the BayStack 100-series Network Management Modules.
NOTE: The cascade cable carries segment and network
management information between the hubs. Do not use
management extension cable between hubs already
connected by cascade cable.
