ICND2: Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2 (legacy) — Question 38

Which two statements about switch stacking are true? (Choose two)

Answer options

• A. The stack is powered by a single power cable
• B. The switches are connected in a daisy-chain fashion
• C. The first and last switch in the stack must be connected to one another
• D. The switches are connected by crossover cables
• E. The switches must be fully meshed

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Option A is correct because switch stacking often operates with a single power supply for efficiency. Option B is also correct as daisy-chaining is a common method for connecting switches in a stack. Options C, D, and E are incorrect because the first and last switches do not need to be directly connected, crossover cables are not typically used in stacking, and full meshing is not a requirement for switch stacking.
