stack will act as a single repeater, and the management functions that are included

Figure 6-4. Ethernet Small Office Implementation
The Remote Office
The remote office installation is a special case of the small office scenario treated
in the previous section. The differentiation between the small office and the
remote office is that the remote office requires a connection to a different
networking technology in order to make a connection to a larger or physically
separate network. In the classical sense, this refers to a branch office location that
has a Wide Area Networking link to the parent company network.
The vast majority of “remote offices” are actually individual workgroups in a
larger facility that are all connected to one another through a high-speed
backbone technology such as FDDI.
