Assumptions and Dependencies

• SonicOS switch daisy-chaining solution allows support for single level of chaining only. Multi-level chaining, where more than two switches are connected in series, is not supported. For example, the parent switch can be connected to a child switch, but the child switch cannot be connected to another child switch.
• There is a maximum limitation of four extended switches that can be provisioned. For example, a parent switch can have up to three child switches.
• In daisy-chaining mode, the only supported topology for the child switch is Common Uplink in which the child switch is connected to the parent switch through a single uplink. Other variations, such as dedicated uplinks, isolated links, and so on, are not supported for the child switch.
