Stacking Configuration
Stacking is only supported on Virtual Connect Ethernet Modules. The Virtual Connect Fibre Channel
modules are managed via the Virtual Connect Ethernet Modules. The Virtual Connect firmware is
dynamically mirrored between modules so all configuration data is updated simultaneously in a stack.
Fibre Channel data packets are not transmitted between modules in a stacked configuration.
