Stacking with 530T Switches
Stacking Capabilities
The 535T can be used alone or in a stack. Stacking the 535T allows it to
become a managed switch.
About a stack
• To stack two or more 535T switches, you must have a 530T switch with
the Stack Matrix Module installed.
• 535Ts can only be stacked with other 535Ts (and one 530T).
• A stack can consist of up to three 535Ts and one 530T.
• In a stack, the 535T switches are the member switches and the 530T is
the control switch.
• The member switches are all managed through the console switch’s
management interface.
• The entire stack has one IP address (the control switch’s IP address).
