Stacking

All stack members are accessed through a single IP address through which the stack is managed.
Stacks are managed using:

The system supports up to six stacking members per stack to a maximum of 192 ports, or devices
can operate as standalone systems.
During the Stacking setup, one device is selected as the Stacking Master. All other devices are
