STACKING COMMANDS
Stacking protocol is a special communication mechanism between devices. It is responsible for allowing multiple devices
to combine together, working in the same configuration. To users, these devices work as a whole.
Stacking devices can provide more network bandwidth and reliability for users. A device down will not influence other
devices in the same stacking topology.
The Stacking commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate parameters) in the
following table.
