Sorry, was having a moment there...yeah, of course, we have GBIC's with the new switch. :)<br />
<br />
As for connecting to the 2960 to the 2950, if they have GBIC what are our options for such a small distance? Is 1000SX still worthwhile, or are there special adaptors for stacking?

Hi All<br />
<br />
One of the floors in one of our offices is going to expand greatly, and will require another 48 port switch to be stacked with the existing one (existing is 2950, we'll get a 2960 new).<br />
<br />
The 2950 has two GBIC 1000SX interfaces that connect it with the floors above and below, the rest are 100 FE ports. What's the best way to stack a 2950/2960 if there are no more gigabit interfaces left on one of them? Any special x-over cables that we can use?<br />
<br />
Thx<br />
<br />

Question on stacking of Cisco switches

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
