Using the Extreme Stacking Tool
The Extreme Stacking Tool provides an easy way to plan your stack.
As you select various switch models and stacking methods, the tool shows you:
- What switch models can be stacked together and which cannot.
- Whether switching methods – for example, SummitStack-V and SummitStack-V80 (supported in EXOS 30.1 and prior releases only) – are compatible with the selected switches.
- Statistics showing the routing options that are available with every stack combination.
- Recommendations about which switches should be the stack master and backup.
- Information about the supported versions of ExtremeXOS for every combination.
To use the Stacking Tool, follow these steps.
