Common Topologies
Although QLogic recommends using the XPAK stacking ports to achieve the
highest cabling efficiency and bandwidth, you can also create multiple switch
configurations using the SFP ports. The SANbox 5800V Series switch supports
the following topologies using the SFP ports:
Cascade Topology
Mesh Topology
MultiStage Topology
