7 Managing OmniSwitch
6855 Series Stacks
In addition to their working as individual stand-alone switches, OmniSwitch 6855 Series switches can also
be linked together to work as a single virtual chassis known as a
stack
. With stacks, users can easily
expand their switching capacity simply by adding additional switches to the stack. In addition, stacks
provide enhanced resiliency and redundancy features. For more information, refer to
page 7-4
.
Note.
See
Chapter 2, “OmniSwitch 6855 Series Chassis and Hardware Components,”
for information on
managing OmniSwitch 6855 Series switches in a stand-alone configuration.
Note.
Mixing OS6800, OS6850, and OS6855 switches in a stack is not supported.
Note.
Only OmniSwitch 6855-U24X models can be stacked. Currently a maximum of four switches can
be stacked.
