To display the status of the stacking ports, including the topology:
Figure 50-9 shows a daisy-chain topology. Figure 50-10 shows the same stack converted to a ring by
connecting stack-port 2/51 to 0/51; you may rearrange the stacking cables without triggering a unit reset,
so long as the stack manager is never disconnected from the stack.

Stacking Cable Redundancy
You can connect two units with two stacking cables as shown in, in case of a stacking port, module, or
cable failure. Removal of only one of the cables does not trigger a reset.
