ICX 7150 Stacking Topologies

The stacks shown in the following figures show topologies that use only one stacking port per direction. For all models except the ICX 7150-C10ZP and the ICX 7150-C12P, it is possible to create a stacking trunk of two ports per direction to improve redundancy and bandwidth. For more information, refer to ICX 7150 stacking trunks.

The following figures show examples of supported stacking topologies for the ICX 7150-C12P. The linear and ring topologies shown also apply to ICX 7150-C10ZP devices.

The following figure depicts a two-unit stack linear-topology trunk. All ICX 7150 models except for ICX 7150-C10ZP and ICX 7150-12C devices support this type of trunk, which improves redundancy and bandwidth. For more information, refer to Support for two-unit stack linear trunks.
