(Ethernet ports)
Yellow
OFF The Ethernet port is negotiating in half-duplex mode and no collisions are
occurring.
3.6 Stacking Scenario Examples
Use Ethernet cables when stacking the switches. See the following figures for example stacking scenarios using the
stacking module. The switches must form a closed ring in all scenarios.
