Can Cisco Business Switches stack?

Negocios de Cisco 350 Series managed switch models with 10 gigabit uplinks support true stacking up to 4 units.

Some switches claim to support stacking but in practice support only “clustering,” meaning that each switch must still be managed and configured individually. Negocios de Cisco 350 Series Switches provide true stacking capability, permitiéndole configurar, administrar, and troubleshoot all switches in a stack as a single unit with a single IP address.

A true stack delivers unified management, control and traffic forwarding, proporcionando flexibilidad, escalabilidad, and ease of use because the stack of units operates as a single entity. This capability can radically reduce complexity in a scaling up network environment while improving the resiliency and availability of network applications. True stacking also provides other cost savings and administrative benefits through features such as cross-stack Quality of Service (QoS), Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN), Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs), and port mirroring, which clustered switches cannot support.

Using standard 10G fiber connections, the Cisco Business 350 Series supports both local and horizontal stacking deployments and the flexibility of ring or chain topology.
