Daisy chain FX2 CMC network connection
If you have multiple chassis in a rack, you can reduce the number of connections to the management
network by daisy-chaining up to ten chassis together. You can reduce the number of management
network uplink connections required from ten to one.
When daisy-chaining chassis together, GB is the uplink port and STK is the stacking (cable consolidation)
port. Connect the Gb ports to the management network or to the STK port of CMC in a chassis that is
closer to the network. Connect the STK port only to a Gb port further from the chain or network.
The following figure illustrates the arrangement of cables for four daisy-chained chassis, each with active
CMCs.
