Hi all.
I usually connect 3750 switches with the stackwise ports from port 1 on the first switch to 2 on the second. And then back from port 1 on the second to port 2 on the first. Standard setup.
If more then 2 switches it is still connected in the same manner, I.e from port 1 to 2.
Have anyone had a problem when not connecting in this way?
I meen f ex between port 1 to port 1 and back between port 2 to port 2, or in a stack with more switches there could be more ways of connecting.
Is there a difference on how the stacking function handles this?

Hi Robert,
Yes, you can connect in same manner e.g
switch a : stack port 1 -----> switch b stack port 2
switch b : stack port 1 -----> switch c stack port 2
switch c : stack port 1 -----> switch a stack port 2
or else
switch a : stack port 1 -----> switch b stack port 1
switch b : stack port 2 -----> switch c stack port 2
switch c : stack port 1 -----> switch a stack port 2
See the section following sections in mentioned links. If you connect the stacks in wrong manner you will have issues like Half Bandwidth connections , Partitioned stack.
