3-1-6. Virtual Stack Configuration
The Virtual Stack function allows multiple POEGEM12T2SFP switches to be managed from a
single IP Address. One POEGEM12T2SFP switch will be configured as a Master and all other
POEGEM12T2SFP switches will be configured as Slaves. You can then apply a group name to
the virtual stack, only one master switch can exist within the same group name. Administrators
will only need to know the IP address of the master switch to gain access to all
POEGEM12T2SFP switches on the network.
An additional table will appear above the web management screen showing all switches that
belong to the virtual stacking group. Each switches web interface can be accessed from the push
of a button.
