Catalyst GigaStack Gigabit Interface Converter Hardware Installation Guide

Overview

The GigaStack GBIC (model WS-X3500-XL) adds port density and

high-performance connectivity to supporting switches. When installed in a

supporting switch, the GigaStack GBIC supports Gigabit connections in a

cascaded stack or point-to-point configuration. The GigaStack GBIC

autonegotiates the duplex setting of each port to maximize the bandwidth for your

configuration.

Features

This section describes the GigaStack GBIC features:

• Half-duplex stacking using only one GBIC slot for each switch

Stack up to nine switches to form an independent backbone that can be

managed with a single IP address. This stack gives the appearance of a single

large switch for network management purposes. For this kind of connectivity,

see the “Example 1: Cascaded Stack Connection” section on page 1-9.

• Full-duplex connectivity between two switches

You can also form a point-to-point link between two switches. The GigaStack

GBIC supports one full-duplex link (in a point-to-point configuration) or up

to eight half-duplex links (in a stack configuration) to other Gigabit Ethernet

devices. For this kind of connectivity, see the “Example 2: Point-to-Point

Connection” section on page 1-10.
