ABSTRACT:
Various embodiments provide an apparatus and method for configuring a shared data rate in a stackable interface network. An example embodiment includes detecting a data cable identifier, the data cable identifier being indicative of a first data rate capacity associated with a data cable identified by the data cable identifier; propagating information indicative of the first data rate capacity to at least one of a plurality of network devices connected via stackable network interfaces; receiving information indicative of a second data rate capacity from at least one of the plurality of network devices; determining an appropriate shared data rate from the information indicative of the first data rate capacity and the information indicative of the second data rate capacity; and configuring at least one of the plurality of network devices to communicate via a stackable network interface at the shared data rate.
