Sample Network Topologies
Stacking the Switches
(Series 2500 only)
The Series 2500 switches can be connected together, through standard
network connections, and managed through a single IP address. Up to 16
switches can be connected together in such a "virtual stack".
You identify one of the switches as the "Commander" and give that switch an
IP address. Up to 15 other switches in the network can then easily be
configured as Members of the stack and managed through the Commander's
IP address. The management includes Telnet access and web browser inter-
face access to the Commander and to each Member switch through the
Commander.
For more information on stacking your Series 2500 switches, please see the
Management and Configuration Guide that came with your switch.
