Single IP Management (SIM) is a simple and useful method to optimize network utilities and management, designed to manage a

- Simplify management of small workgroups or wiring closets while scaling networks to handle increased bandwidth demand.
- Reduce the number of IP addresses needed on the network.
- Virtual stacking structure—Eliminate any specialized cables for stacking and remove the distance barriers that typically limit
topology options when using other stacking technology.
