Allows up to nine switches to be interconnected in a
half-duplex, cascade stack configuration, forming a highly scalable
1-Gbps independent stack bus
Delivers a hardware-based, independent stack bus with 1-Gbps
forwarding bandwidth in a half-duplex, cascade configuration, or up
to a 2-Gbps forwarding rate in a point-to-point, full-duplex
configuration
Full- and half-duplex autonegotiating automatically selects and
optimizes bandwidth between interconnected

Management & Protocols
Management: Users can choose to deploy
GigaStack GBIC stacking while benefiting from the powerful
multidevice management technology available in Cisco Switch
Clustering technology. Switch Clustering technology allows
customers to manage a stack of devices within a wiring closet or a
broadly dispersed set of devices across a campus as a single IP
entity. Switch Clustering technology uses standard TCP/IP packets
to distribute and collect management information for all switches
in the cluster. Switch Clustering supports a broad range of
physical interconnections, including the GigaStack GBIC.
