Question about stacking 3324's

Question

Hi, I've tried to stack two Powerconnect 3324 switches, but without luck.This is what I've done: Powered off both switches.I put a stacking module in both, put the cable in master (switch 1) RX and slave (switch 2) TX.Powered on switch 1, selected stacking ID 1. Powered on switch 2, selected stacking ID 2. After installing I had no connectivity at all, not even on the machines connected to switch 1 at first.Is it because I don't have a loop, or in other words I need to use the 2nd stacking cable (to connect master TX to slave RX) or summit?Or do I need extra console configuring to make it work? Thanks for the help! Message Edited by Harrie Nak on 03-27-2005 10:18 AM

Stacking for the 3300 switches uses a simplex ring topology. If the ring is not complete, the stack will not function. See the following link to the online User's Guide for more information:   http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/network/pc33xx/en/ug/hardware.htm#1108161
