Optional stack configuration

Note: If you wish to use a stack configuration instead of LAG, follow the instructions below instead of
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.
