C H A P T E R 3 Configure the module and connect the cables
7 Repeat steps 2 through 6 for the second 1000Base Module,
ensuring that the cabling from this 1000Base Module goes to
the other Matrix Module.
8 Plug the SC connectors on the fiber optic cables into the RX and
TX sockets, and connect the other end of the cables to a device
or group of switches with redundancy.
9 Check the LEDs on the 1000Base Modules to verify the links.
For more information on LEDs, see Chapter 2
Link Aggregation with Two Modules
Introduction Two modules installed in a stack can be link aggregrated to increase
bandwidth between this stack and another device or stack.
Prevent network loops Link aggregation must be configured in Intel Device View to prevent
a loop. When two modules are installed in a stack and connected to
another single device or stack (without redundancy or link aggrega-
tion), then a loop may be created. Note that even with spanning tree
enabled, a delay of 10 to 15 seconds may occur before the loop is dis-
covered.
