Connecting Stacking cable
Before attempting to connect stacking ports, verify that you have the required stack cables. The following cables are used to connect
stacked switches:
NS-CBL-50: 50cm, Short stack cable –used to connect adjacent IFS switches.
NS-CBL-200: 200cm, Long / Redundant stack cable – used to connect the top and bottom IFS switches of a stack.
There are two high-performance HDMI-like Stack ports on the rear panel for proprietary management stack. Only these IFS stacking
cables can be used for proper functionality.
STEP-1: Plug one end of the cable in the “STX1 / Cascade Down” port and the other end to the ”STX2 / Cascade UP” port of next
device.
STEP-2: Repeat the step for every device in the stack cluster, then ending at last switch.

STEP-3: If you wish to implement stack redundancy, use the long stack cable NS-CBL-200 to connect the stack port marked “STX1 /
Cascade Down” on the bottom switch to the port marked “STX2 / Cascade Up” on the top switch of the stack.
