ProCurve Stack Management

Operation

■ If multiple VLANs are configured, stacking uses only the primary

VLAN on any switch. In the factory-default configuration, the

DEFAULT_VLAN is the primary VLAN. (See “Stacking Operation with

Multiple VLANs Configured” on page 8-45 and “The Primary VLAN”

on page 2-7.)

■ Stacking allows intermediate devices that do not support stacking.

This enables you to include switches that are distant from the

Commander.
