What is Switch Stacking ?
A stackable switch is a network switch that is fully functional operating standalone but which can also be set up to operate together with one or more other network switches, with this group of switches showing the characteristics of a single switch but having the port capacity of the sum of the combined switches.
Some network switches have the ability to be connected to other switches and operate together as a single unit. These configurations are called "stacks", and are useful for quickly increasing the capacity of a network.
Why Stacking?
Stacking allows users to expand their network capacity without the hassle of managing multiple devices.
Stackable switches can be added or removed from a stack as needed without affecting the overall performance of the stack. Depending on its topology, a stack can continue to transfer data even if a link or unit within the stack fails. This makes stacking an effective, flexible, and scalable solution to expand network capacity.
Stacking Terminology:-
If you are unfamiliar with the terms used below, check out Cisco Business: Glossary of New Terms .
All Cisco Business stacks have an Active switch, or commander. The Active switch is a switch in the stack that handles the configuration for the entire stack. When you want to manage your stack, the Active switch is the device that you connect to in order to make changes. The Active switch also handles other important stack functions, such as detecting when switches enter or leave the stack, and upgrading outdated switches.
A Standby switch is a switch that will become the new Active switch if the original Active switch goes offline. In this way, a backup helps maintain the resiliency of the stack.
A Member is a stackable switch that operates as an additional unit within the stack.
A stack port is a port on the switch that is used to communicate with other switches in the stack. Depending on the model, a switch can have either preconfigured or user-defined stack ports.
Conclusion
After reading this document, you've hopefully gained a better understanding of what stacking is and how it can benefit your network.
