What is Stacking and its limitation ?How to solve it ?
In traditional campus networks, enterprises and suppliers mostly use boxing switches and chassis devices to build networks. When they realized that in some cases, the chassis equipment was too expensive and not flexible enough, and the independent box switches were not convenient for unified management. Thus, the stack architecture was born. What is Stack Network Architecture? The stacking architecture of switches has been proposed since the 1990s, and its deployment value is obvious to all. For example, simplify management. The stacked switches can be regarded as a logical entity with a unified management interface, which simplifies management and operation. In terms of high availability, the stacking system can perform link aggregation on the ports of different physical switches, so that the downlink has higher bandwidth and elasticity. The stack system is logically virtualized as a switch, so there is no need to artificially block lines to avoid loops. In addition, stackable switche...
