	~~Unlike traditional twisted pair cable, a 10 Gbps cable will step run at a lower speed. Likewise, a 1 Gbps cable will not connect to a 10 Gbps port.~~

	If you (accidentally) use a 1 Gbps SFP+ cable, the upgrade will likely throw an error like the one below:		If you (accidentally) use a 1 Gbps SFP+ cable, the upgrade will likely throw an error like the one below:

So be sure to flash the firmware to match the existing switch, license the ports if needed and enable stacking on the replacement switch while it is stand-alone. Power it off, plug in the stack cables and '''then''' apply power. When it boots, it's config should be replaced with the good switch's configuration. To be safe, in an [[Anvil!]], withdraw a node before reforming the stack.}}

ICX6430-C12

	The ICX6430-C12 doesn't support stacking. However, a stack can be somewhat simulated by tagging a dedicated port with all our VLANs. This will allow traffic from any VLAN to use the same "uplink" port. Also, without a proper stack, we can not create a trunk/LAG. So we enable rapid STP on each switch's customer-facing uplink port instead.		The ICX6430-C12 doesn't support stacking.
