5.1 Stack Management
Before configuring the stack, we highly recommend you to prepare the configuration planning with
a clear set of the role and function of each member device. Some configuration needs device
reboot to take effect, so you are kindly recommended to configure the stack at first, next connect
the devices physically after powering off them, then you can power them on and the devices will
join the stack automatically. After stack is established, users can log in the stack system through
any member devices to configure and manage it.
The stack management can be implemented on Stack Info and Stack Config pages.
