Hi Neo,

This link will give you a clear picture of how half duplex cascade looks like and how full duplex stacking looks like

Have a look at Fig 2-3 and Fig 4

Hi Neo,

According to me there is no special config required because it is not the configuration but the way you connect your switches using giga stack gbic modules.

If you look at the previous link it is just the different ways stacking gbics are used to connect the different switches.

On 3750 switch you get special stacking cables and here you go with the link for 3750 as how to manage stacks
