HP Switch Stack Management (stacking) enables you to use a single IP address and standard network cabling to manage a group of up to 16 total switches in the same IP subnet (broadcast domain). Using stacking, you can:
-
Reduce the number of IP addresses needed in your network.
-
Simplify management of small workgroups or wiring closets while scaling your network to handle increased bandwidth demand.
-
Eliminate any specialized cables for stacking connectivity and remove the distance barriers that typically limit your topology options when using other stacking technologies.
-
Add switches to your network without having to first perform IP addressing tasks.
