ProCurve Stack Management

Overview

This chapter describes how to use your network to stack switches without the need for any specialized cabling. For an overview of stacking features, refer to the table on page 7-4.

For general information on how to use the switch’s built-in interfaces, see:

■Chapter 3, “Using the Menu Interface”

■Chapter 4, “Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)”

■Chapter 5, “Using the Web Browser Interface

■Chapter 6, “Switch Memory and Configuration”
