Using the VIM1-SummitStack512 Module
The VIM1-SummitStack512 versatile interface module allows you to connect two Summit X650 series
switches in a cross-over or back-to-back configuration, using SummitStack 128G cables (Figure 76). This
configuration provides two bidirectional links operating at 256 Gbps between the two switches.

and SummitStack 128G Cables
Unlike other stacking configurations, with the VIM1-SummitStack512 modules, ports are connected in
pairs of matching port numbers. When you connect stacking cables to installed VIM1-SummitStack512
modules, match the stacking ports as listed in Table 25.
