8.11 Stacking
Stacking is directly connecting Switches to form a larger system that behaves as a single Switch or a
virtual chassis with increased port density.
Figure 90 Switch Stacking Concept
The last two SFP ports of your Switch are dedicated for Switch stacking. These are the Switches that
support stacking at the time of writing.
Note: Up to four Switches per stack are allowed.
Note: See Table 2 on page 25 for the services not supported in stacking mode.
You can manage each Switch in the stack from a master Switch using its Web Configurator or console.
Each Switch supports up to two stacking channels. Use the master Switch to assign a ‘slot ID’ for each
‘linecard’ non-master Switch. ‘Slot’ refers to a Switch in the ‘virtual chassis’ stack.

to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
