5.1 Stack Management Before configuring the stack, we highly recommend you to prepare the configuration planning with a clear set of the role and function of each member device. Some configuration needs device reboot to take effect, so you are kindly recommended to configure the stack at first, next connect the devices physically after powering off them, then you can power them on and the devices will join the stack automatically. After stack is established, users can log in the stack system through any member devices to configure and manage it. The stack management can be implemented on Stack Info and Stack Config pages. 5.1.1 Stack Info On this page you can view the basic parameters of the stack function.
