3-1-6. Virtual Stack Configuration
The Virtual Stack function allows multiple MS888G2 switches to be managed from a single IP
Address. One MS888G2 will be configured as a Master and all other MS888G2 switches will be
configured as Slaves. You can then apply a group name to the virtual stack, only one master
switch can exist within the same group name. Administrators will only need to know the IP
address of the master switch to gain access to all MS888G2 switches on the network.
An additional table will appear above the web management screen showing all switches that
belong to the virtual stacking group. Each switches web interface can be accessed from the push
of a button.
