What are passive optical networks
A passive optical network (PON) is a fiber-optic telecommunications network that uses only unpowered devices to carry signals, as opposed to electronic equipment. In practice, PONs are typically used for the last mile between Internet service providers (ISP) and their customers. Instead of running a separate fiber strand to every home or office, a PON shares a single fiber using optical. They're called "passive" because they don't require any electrical power to distribute the signal once it's sent across.

Stacking of Core Switches for Internal and External Networks
Stacking is the process of connecting multiple physical network switches together, so they function as a single, logical switch. This is achieved by using stacking-capable switches which have dedicated ports and use dedicated cables to connect to other switches in. HPE Aruba Networking data centers are built on the following switch models: CX 63xx Ethernet switches for out-of-band (OOB) network management. Additionally, configuring SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) and ELRP (Extreme Loop Recovery.

Optical distribution networks are passive optical networks
An Optical Distribution Network is a passive optical transmission system composed of optical fibers, splitters, distribution frames, and connectors. In practice, PONs are typically used for the last mile between Internet service providers (ISP) and their customers. This is where the network segment will house a control and switch module, and it essentially manages traffic to and from the main fiber connection that services the region.
