    Hello ChristISM, 

     

    The  GS728TPS' are the only ones that are stackable. I'm thinking you can stack the 3 GS728TPS' and cascade the other 3 switches to them. If you will connect the switches by using thier SFP ports, I am afraid it might cause a loop. 

     

    Thanks,

Thanks for the info, I will leave it like this without any ring, until we change switch.

 

Thanks :)
