Installing the Switch
Sample Network Topologies
Stacking the Switch
These Switches can be connected together, through standard network
connections, and managed through a single IP address. Up to 16 switches can
be connected together in such a “virtual stack”.
You identify this Switch as the “Commander” and give that switch an IP
address. Up to 15 other switches in the network can then easily be configured
as Members of the stack and managed through the Commander’s IP address.
The management includes Telnet access and Web browser interface access to
the Commander and to each Member switch through the Commander.
For more information on stacking your switch, see the Management and
Configuration Guide, which is on the HP Web site at www.hp.com/networking/
support.
