3.1.6 Virtual Stack
The Virtual Stack page under the System menu (Figure 3-8) allows you set virtual stack settings for the
switch. Multiple switches in the same LAN can be grouped together in order to simplify management
through the web interface. All switches in the same stack can be managed using the IP address of the
Master switch.
If Virtual Stack is configured, two rows of buttons (16 in total) will appear at the top of the web interface
after logging into the master switch to allow for selecting the device to manage. By using these buttons,
you can select which switch in the group to connect to and manage without logging into each switch
individually.
