Description:

Stacking switches involves the physical and logical connection of multiple network switches so that they can behave and be managed as a single unit. Stacking combines multiple switching backplanes into a single entity, which appears as a device with just one MAC and IP address.

This provides redundancy and flexibility in the network, and also allows for expansion without any configuration effort.

The following Setup Guide informs you all about stacking terminology, the stacking management options available with the LANCOM switch series, and how to calculate the maximum network size.
