Example: Stack with VIM1-SummitStack Modules

Figure 163 shows an example of a four-switch stack that combines two dierent switch models: two of

each model; four switches in all. For the ﬁrst switch model, the stacking ports are on installed VIM1-

SummitStack modules. For the second switch model, the stacking ports are on installed SummitStack

stacking modules. The recommended order for connecting the stacking ports is the same as for the

example in Example: Basic Stack with Eight Switches on page 216.
