Stacking
Stacking Stacking is the process of connecting multiple physical network switches together, so they function as a single, logical switch. This is achieved by using stacking-capable switches which have

AOC is used for data transmission or stacking of switches between 7-30 meters, and optical modules + optical fiber jumpers are used for more than 30 meters. Since DAC, AOC, and optical modules can all realize the stacking of switches, do you know when to use DAC or AOC? When to use optical module + optical fiber jumper? Firstly, let's talk about DAC, which is a cable assembly with fixed length and fixed modules at both ends. GBIC is an interface device that converts Gigabit electrical signals into optical signals. This article is designed to help network administrators effectively configure, maintain, and troubleshoot switch stacks. This table provides release and related information for the features explained in this article.
