Stacked Switching

Your NETGEAR Model FSM726S Managed Stackable Switch has two bi-directional stacking ports on the back panel. Using these ports, you can
build a full-duplex, switched network for large numbers of users simply by stacking units together. The high-speed stacking ports deliver more than
2 Gbps of throughput across the stacking backplane.
A total of 144 10/100 ports can be put into a single stack. Stacked FSM726S Managed Stackable Switches can be assigned a single IP address
using the switch's management software. The stack can then be treated as a single manageable unit with one IP address.
