All you need is an uplink to the 1st stack.<br />
VTP, STP or RSTP needs to be carefully considered also.<br />
You can use etherchannel uplinks for bigger bandwidth.<br />
Consider implementing the 3-Layer switching model (Core, Distribution and Access) if you have multiple vlans.

Thank you all for the prompt reply.<br />
<br />
Excuse my ignorance here it's my first stack installation.<br />
On the stack 2 do i connect the stack wise cable to stack 2 port and then go directly to stack 1 port stack 2 ? and then connect the up-link ?<br />
<br />
I'll have a read on the Cisco site as well. Many Thanks

Hi There,<br />
<br />
Currently i have &nbsp;2 3750x switches in &nbsp;stack 1 and i would like to install second stack however because of cabinet issue(cabinet attached to the wall). I would like to install stack 2 adjacent in the next cabinet. How can i connect the new stack &nbsp;back to stack 1 ? is it only a matter of connecting the stackwise cable ? and do i have to reboot the primary stack so that stack 2 is a part of same host and ip address.<br />
<br />
Thank you.

How to connect Cisco Stack to another stack?

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs

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.
