Optional stack configuration

Note: If you wish to use a stack configuration instead of LAG, follow the instructions in this section
instead of those in section 2.
One advantage of stacked switches is that they can be managed as a single switch. However, firmware
updates will update all members of the stack simultaneously and therefore should only be done during
planned downtime.
