Stacking Features
HP Procurve Stack Management (termed stacking) enables you to use a single
IP address and standard network cabling to manage a group of up to 16 total
switches in the same IP subnet (broadcast domain). Using stacking, you can:
■ Reduce the number of IP addresses needed in your network.
