[CATALYST 1300] Stacking question

[jauffrey-giraud]

Hello,

I plan to stack 3 catalyst 1300 in a ring topology, I am wondering if there is any built in anti network loop prevention mechanism.

I read there is in stackwise but can't seem to find any information to confirm there is on catalyst 1300.

Am I supposed to use RSTP / LACP instead to prevent loops myself ?

Regards.

I watched this video already, she mentions not to plug the switchs before making the stack configuration not to create a loop, does that imply there is an anti loop mechanism built in ?
