how many 5m XRN cables can hold the stack ?

[chipitsine1]

we are running many XRN fabrics, and one of them 3 cables of 5m

5500G-EI <---- very long distance----> couple of 5500G-EI <--------very long distance ----> 5500G-EI

XRN doesn't work (it is split to 2 separate fabrics), the diagnostic is:

<5500G-EI>display ftm information


FTM State       : HB STATE

what could cause that error ?

You display FTMs of two switches. Which two of four are they exactly?

[chipitsine1]

well, I configured IP address for the fabric itself (for both fabrics), connected to that address and typed a command.

[chipitsine1]

well, as it shows me "unit 2 login" and "unit 4 login", so

unit1 <----- 5m ------>   (unit2 + unit5) <----- 5m-------> unit4

I'm not sure about order, it could be either unit2 ---- unit 5 or unit5 ---- unit2

unit5 beleives it is a separate fabric (of single unit).
