Level 3

Can I have two separate PowerStack groups (of 4 or less) in a stack of 3750X switches (IP Base or LAN Base 15.0.2) containing (StackWise) more than four switches?

Q. How many Cisco StackPower stacks can be built within one data stack?

A. In theory, one switch is a stack on its own in terms of Cisco  StackWise. In terms of Cisco StackPower, one switch constitutes a  StackPower stack of one switch.

The  recommendation is to have Cisco StackPower stacks of four switch  members to maximize the effect of power aggregation and redundancy.

Another  option is to build three Cisco StackPower stacks of three each, for a  total of nine switches, matching the maximum number of switch members in  a Cisco StackWise stack (also known as a data stack).
