Figure 209: VIM-2ss SummitStack Module

1 = LEDs 2= Stacking ports

The VIM-2q module connects to QSFP+ cables to form stacks using the SummitStack-V160 protocol.

This module is not compatible with the SummitStack-V80 module that is used on the X460 and X480

switches.

Note

VIMs are not hot swappable. You must power down the switch before installing any VIMs.

Alternate Stacking for X460-G2 Switches

X460-G2 10-gigabit switch models (10GE4) support alternate stacking (SummitStack-V feature)

through the 10G SFP+ ports located on the front panel. See Summit X460-G2 (10G Models) Stack

Conﬁguration Guidelines on page 264 for additional considerations.

X460-G2 1-gigabit switch models (GE4) support alternate stacking through an attached VIM-2x

module. See Summit X460-G2 (1G Models Using VIM Ports) Stack Conﬁguration Guidelines on page

264 for additional considerations.

Note

40G ports on the VIM-2q cannot be partitioned into four 10G ports.

Table 128 summarizes alternate stacking support for X460-G2 switches.
