Stacking Features
For information about creating and maintaining a stack of switches, see
"Managing a Switch Stack" on page 135.
High Port Count
You can stack PowerConnect 7000 Series switches up to 12 switches high,
supporting up to 576 front-panel ports, if all units in the stack are 48-port
models. The stack can contain any combination of switch models in the
PowerConnect 7000 Series as long as all switches are running the same
firmware version.
Single IP Management
When multiple switches are connected together through the stack ports, they
operate as a single unit with a larger port count. The stack operates and is
managed as a single entity. One switch acts as the master, and the entire stack
is managed through the management interface (Web, CLI, or SNMP) of the
master unit.
Automatic Firmware Upgrade for New Stack Members
If a switch is added to a stack, and the switch is running an older version of
the firmware than the other stack members, the firmware on the new member
is automatically upgraded to match the stack.
Stacking Compatibility with the PowerConnect M6348
PowerConnect 7000 Series switches and PowerConnect M6348 switches can
be members of the same stack.
