Configuring A Stack; Hardware Compatibility And Other Restrictions; Stack Configuration Task List - HP 5500 EI Series Configuration Manual

Configuring a stack

The stack management feature allows you to access a group of connected devices from one device in the
group, as shown in
Figure 61 Network diagram for stack management
To set up a stack for a group of connected devices, you must create the stack on one device in the group.
This device is the master device for the stack. Ports that connect the stack member devices are called
"stack ports."
After you are logged in to the master device, you can access the CLI of any other stack member device
by using a CLI switchover command.

Hardware compatibility and other restrictions

Only the HP 5500 SI switches support stack management.
Link aggregation is not supported on stack ports. Every two stack member can have only one physical
stack link between them.
