Monitoring Stack StatusUsing the stacking options in the menu interface for any switch in a stack, you 
can view stacking data for that switch or for all stacks in the subnet (broadcast 
domain). (If you are using VLANs in your stac k environment, see "Stacking 
Operation with a Tagged VLAN" on page 13-46.) This can help you  in such ways 
as determining the stacking configuration for individual switch es, identifying 
stack Members and Candidates, and determining the status of individual 
switches in a stack. See table 13-5 on page 13-27.
