S6730-S and S6730S-S Service Port Stacking Support

 

Service port stacking support

 

Device Series Port Supporting Stacking Stack Cable Rate of a Single Port Maximum of Stack Member Ports in a Logical Stack Port
  • S6730-S
  • S6730S-S
 10GE ports on the front panel
  • 1 m, 3 m, and 5 m SFP+ high-speed copper cables
  • 10 m SFP+ high-speed copper cables
  • 3 m and 10 m AOC cables
  • 10GE SFP+ optical module and optical fiber
  • 0.5 m and 1.5 m SFP+ dedicated stack cables

Only the last 16 10GE ports on the front panel can be used to set up a stack using dedicated stack cables.

40GE ports on the front panel
  • 1 m, 3 m, and 5 m QSFP+ high-speed copper cables
  • QSFP+ optical module and optical fiber (QSFP-40G-SR-BD optical modules can be used for stack since V200R019C10SPC500.)
  • 10 m QSFP+ AOC cable
  • 2m QSFP28 dedicated stack cables (supported in V200R020C10 and later versions)
 40 Gbit/s 6

 

NOTE:

  • For the cables that can be used as stack cables, see “Cables” in the Hardware Description. Using other cables may cause exceptions in the stack system, for example, frequent error-down events on stack ports.
  • Any models of the S6730-S series can set up a stack. Any models of the S6730S-S series can set up a stack. A stack cannot be set up between the S6730-S (S6730-S24X6Q)and S6730S-S.
  • The number of stacked switches is recommended to be 2 to 9. In addition, when using iMaster NCE-Campus to manage and maintain a stack, ensure that the stack has no more than four member switches.
  • A switch supports a maximum of two logical stack ports.
  • For stacking-supported service ports, some of them can be used as stack ports, whereas some can be used as ordinary service ports.
  • The rates of physical member ports in a logical stack port must be the same. The rates of physical member ports in different logical stack ports on a device can be different.
