I just finished reading the Stackwise-480 Whitepaper . It's a very informative document, but it did not answer the question I have about my simple scenario. I currently do not have access to these switches, but I need to understand their expected be...

The WS-X45-Sup7-E features 4 x 10Gbps non-blocking switch ports when installed in the 4510R+E chassis. What happens to these ports during: a) a supervisor switchover and b) a supervisor software failure? For instance, if there are WS-X45-Sup7-E ins...

We are doing switch testing in a network with C9548 and C9516 SWV-stacked switches (2 switches per stack). All switches are currently running 16.12.04. We notice a difference in behavior between the two models. On the 9548 stacks, when we console ...

I disconnect both Stackwise-480 cables (I'm assuming some kind of undesirable "split-brain" behavior)?--> you should connect connect switches like a ring, so even if you remove both cables from a single switch, there won't be a split brain situation ...

Also, I should've specified that these are L2 links only.

In my case, "service password-encryption" is enabled, but if I do a show run the community strings are shown in cleartext.
