Switch Stacking
Topology
A switch stack creates a powerful logical switch by allowing two or more
individual switches to function as one unit. Switch stacks can simplify
network management because you can manage the switches as a unit,
rather than individually. The network topology in Figure 22 includes
several examples of AT-8350GB switch stacks.
