• Advanced Hybrid—A device in Advanced Hybrid mode can be connected
to Sx500 and SG500X/ESW2-550X devices to form a stack. In this mode,
VRRP and/or RIP are supported, but auto numbering of units is not
supported, because only the SG500Xor ESW2-550X devices can function
as master/backup.
Sx500 devices can only be slaves, therefore up to 6 Sx500 units can be
stacked together with two SG500X/ESW2-550Xs devices.
• Advanced Hybrid XG—A device in Advanced Hybrid XG mode can be
connected to SG500X/ESW2-550X and SG500XG devices to form a stack.
All units can be master or slave units.
