Switch Stacking#

With the object type Stacking, it is possible to define a stack group with multiple members that exchange information with each other. Although stacking can be used for different object types, the original concept for this object type and the associated category Stack Members traces back to switch stacking. The object type can be found under the object type group Other starting from version 1.7.

Stack Members#

In the Stack Members category created for stacking, objects can be added as members of the stack and marked as "Active" or "Passive". In the documentation, this marking has no further effect other than the corresponding display.

Logical Ports#

When a logical port is created in one of the stack members, it now also appears in the other stack members under logical ports.

Additionally, the logical port of another stack member can be assigned as the parent port of a port.
