For additional devices, the primary device in the stack must have the necessary stacking NetMods for
additional cabled devices. For example, if you have a 3D8260 where the primary only has a single
stacking NetMod, you cannot add another secondary device to this stack. You add secondary devices to
an existing stack in the same manner that you initially establish a stacked device configuration.
