Omada Campus Stackable L3 Managed Switch Keep the equipment room at an appropriate level of temperature and humidity. Too much or too little humidity may lead to bad insulation, leakage of electricity, mechanical property changes, and corrosion. High temperatures may accelerate aging of the insulation materials, significantly shortening the service life of the device. To find out the best temperature and humidity conditions for the device, check the Appendix B Specifications. Clearness
The dust accumulated on the switch can be absorbed by static electricity and result in poor contact of metal contact points. Some measures have been taken for the device to prevent static electricity, but too strong static electricity can cause deadly damage to the electronic elements on the internal circuit board. To avoid the effect of static electricity on the operation of the switch, attach much importance to the following items: Dust the device regularly, and keep the indoor air clean. Keep the device well grounded and ensure that the static electricity has been transferred. Electromagnetic Interference
Electronic elements including capacitance and inductance on the device can be affected by external interferences, such as conducted emission by capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, and impedance coupling. To decrease the interferences, make sure to take the following measures: Use the power supply that can effectively filter interference from the power grid. Keep the device far from high-frequency and strong-current devices such as radio transmitting
station. Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary. Lightning Protection
Installation 13

Omada Campus Stackable L3 Managed Switch
Extremely high voltage currents can be produced instantly when lightning occurs and the air in the electric discharge path can be instantly heated up to 20,000 °C. As this instant current is strong enough to damage electronic devices, more effective lightning protection measures should be taken. Ensure that the rack and the device are well earthed. Make sure the power socket has a good contact with the ground. Keep a reasonable cabling system and avoid induced lightning. Use the signal SPD (Surge Protective Device) when wiring outdoor.

There are three stack topology structures for different scenarios, please build the proper topology according to your needs:

1. Chain Topology: Chain topology is relatively simple and does not require cable connection between the first and last unit. It is suitable for long-distance stacking, but its reliability is relatively low.

Figure 3-6

Chain Topology

Stacking Port Group 2
Stacking Port Group 1

…

2. Ring Topology: Ring topology has higher reliability compared with the chain topology. When one of the chains in the ring topology is disconnected, the ring topology becomes a chain topology, but the entire stack system can still work normally. The ring topology requires cable connection between the first and last unit, so it’s not suitable for long-distance stacking.

Figure 3-7

Ring Topology

Stacking Port Group 2

Stacking Port Group 1

…

Connection 25

Omada Campus Stackable L3 Managed Switch

3. Star Topology: Star topology connects the switches to a central main switch, therefore, it can significantly increase the data forwarding rate between member switches while providing unified management.

Figure 3-8

Star Topology

Note: The stacking port is not allowed to connect to non-stacking port, as it may affect the operation of the
device. Stacking ports with the same group ID are not allowed to connect to stacking ports with different
group IDs, neither to different devices. A stacking port group is a logical port dedicated to stacking and needs to be bound to a stacking port.
A stacking port group can be bound to one or more stacking ports to improve bandwidth and reliability.
