StackPower Partitioning Examples
Figure 2-9 and Figure 2-10 show StackPower stacks of Catalyst 3850 switches with failover conditions.
In Figure 2-9, the StackPower cable 2 is faulty. Therefore, this stack does not provide redundancy.
Figure 2-9 Example of a StackPower Stack with a Failover Condition
In Figure 2-10, StackPower port B on the center switch has failed and this stack partitions into two
stacks. The top two switches share power, and the bottom switch is now a separate stack.
