This section explains stacking and its related concepts, identification methods, and the benefits of managing multiple switches as a single. When your business runs multiple VLANs for guest networks, employee devices, VoIP systems, and IoT equipment, Omada L3 switches route traffic between those networks without bottlenecking at your router.

Some network switches have the ability to be connected to other switches and operate together as a single unit. These configurations are called "stacks", and are useful for quickly increasing the capacity of a network. In modern enterprise networks, stackable switches are best suited for campus access-layer deployments where simplified management, port density, and resilient uplinks matter most. This method is applicable on access layer switches. These are Core, Distributed layer, and.
