Operating Rules for Stacking
General Rules
■
Stacking is an optional feature (enabled in the default configuration)
and can easily be disabled. Stacking has no effect on the normal
operation of the switch in your network.
■
A stack requires one Commander switch. (Only one Commander
allowed per stack.)
■
All switches in a particular stack must be in the same IP subnet
(broadcast domain). A stack cannot cross a router.
■
A stack accepts up to 16 switches (numbered 0-15), including the
Commander (always numbered 0).
■
There is no limit on the number of stacks in the same IP subnet
(broadcast domain), however a switch can belong to only one stack.
