MCT Configuration Example Using ICX 7850 Stacks as Cluster Peers

Note: This example is using an ICX 7850 stack, but is applicable to all stackable ICX devices that support MCT.

The following figure depicts an MCT configuration with ICX stacks used as cluster peers. The related configuration is included following the figure.
