1.1 Stack Management Overview
A stack is a set of network devices. Administrators can group multiple network devices
into a stack and manage them as a whole. Therefore, stack management can help
reduce customer investments and simplify network management.

1.1.1 Introduction to Stack

A stack is a management domain that comprises several network devices connected to
one another through stack ports. In a stack, there is a master device and several slave
devices.
An administrator can manage all the devices in a stack through the master device.
