Stack Configuration Overview
A stack is a set of network devices. Administrators can group multiple network devices into a stack and
manage them as a whole. Therefore, stack management can help reduce customer investments and
simplify network management.
Introduction to Stack
A stack is a management domain that comprises several network devices connected to one another
through stack ports. In a stack, there is a master device and several slave devices.
An administrator can manage all the devices in a stack through the master device.
