Table 21 lists the recommended order for connecting the stacking ports in this example.
Figure 72 shows an example of a four-switch stack that includes two Summit X650 series switches. In
the Summit X650 series switches, the SummitStack ports are on installed VIM1-SummitStack modules.
The Summit X650 series switches are placed at the top of the stack and will be designated the stack
master and backup nodes. The recommended order for connecting the stacking ports is the same as for
the example in Figure 70 on page 102.
