3.18 Single IP

Single IP Management (SIM) is a simple and useful method to optimize network utilities and management. It is designed
to manage a group of switches as a single entity by employing a virtual stacking structure. With SIM you have the
following advantages:
1
Simplify management of small workgroups or wiring closets while scaling networks to handle increased bandwidth
demand.
1 Reduce the number of IP addresses needed on the network.
1
Eliminate any specialized cables for stacking and remove the distance barriers that typically limit topology options
when using other stacking technology.
Each single IP group consists of one master switch and up to 32 slave switches. The master switch is used as an agent
to manage all switches in the group. The slave switch joins a group and can be accessed from the master switch.
