2.4.1 Adding a tiered switch
You can tier up to two levels of switches, enabling you connect a switch to up to 256 devices. In a tiered
system, each device port on the main switch connects to the ACI port on each tiered switch. Each tiered
switch can then be connected to a device with an IQ module.
To tier multiple switches:
1. Attach one end of a UTP cable (up to 30 meters in length) to a device port on the switch.
2. Connect the other end of the UTP cable to the ACI port on the back of your tiered switch.
3. Connect the devices to your tiered switch.
4. Repeat these steps for all the tiered switches you wish to attach to your system.
NOTE: The system automatically “merges” the two switches. All switches connected to the tiered
switch are displayed on the main switch list in the local UI.
NOTE: The switch supports one tiered switch per device port of the main switch. You cannot attach a
switch to the tiered switch.
