Firepower 82xx Family and 83xx Family Primary Device
You can use a device stack as you would a single device in your deployment, with a few exceptions.
If you have Firepower 8000 Series devices in a high-availability pair, you cannot stack a device
high-availability pair or a device in a high-availability pair.
When replacing NetMods on a stacked configuration, complete all procedures on the secondary
units first, then perform any replacements on the primary unit.
Install NetMods on the primary device only.
Install one stacking module on the primary device for each stacked secondary device, and one
stacking module on each secondary device.
