Stacking

A stackable switch is a switch that is fully functional operating as a stand-alone unit but can 
also be set-up to operate together with up to seven other switches. This group of switches 
shows the characteristics of a single switch while having the port capacity of the sum of the 
combined switches. 

From the Stacking link under the System tab, you can access the following pages:

One of the switches in the stack controls the operation of the stack. This switch is called the 
stack master. The remaining switches in the stack are stack members. The stack members 
use stacking technology to behave and work together as a unified system. Layer 2 and higher 
protocols present the entire switch stack as a single entity to the network.

The stack master is the single point of stack-wide management. From the stack master, you 
configure the following:

System-level (global) features that apply to all stack members

Interface-level features for all interfaces on any stack member

A switch stack is identified in the network by its network IP address. The network IP address 
is assigned according to the MAC address of the stack master. Every stack member is 
uniquely identified by its own stack member number, which is from 1–6. The stack master can 
be any number within that range.
