The Cisco Systems GigaStack Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) is a versatile, low-cost, Gigabit Ethernet stacking GBIC that offers high-speed interconnectivity between Catalyst 3550, 2950G, 3500 XL and modular Catalyst 2900 XL Switches.
The GigaStack GBIC is implemented in a standard GBIC form, which offers customers the highest level of deployment flexibility and scalability-using available Gigabit Ethernet GBIC ports for high-performance stacking today while preserving the option to migrate to standard Gigabit Ethernet uplinks tomorrow.

Full Compatibility with Cisco Switch Clustering Management Technology:
Users can choose to deploy GigaStack GBIC stacking while benefiting from the powerful multidevice management technology available in Cisco Switch Clustering technology. Switch Clustering technology allows customers to manage a stack of devices within a wiring closet or a broadly dispersed set of devices across a campus as a single IP entity. Switch Clustering technology uses standard TCP/IP packets to distribute and collect management information for all switches in the cluster. Switch Clustering supports a broad range of physical interconnections, including the GigaStack GBIC.
