Summary
This paper has described the theory and operation of stacking on the Dell PowerConnect 7000 series of
switches. Delivering significant rack density, the PowerConnect 7000 gives network administrators the
flexibility to maximize server and workstation connectivity in a 1U form factor. Stacking provides the
ultimate in ease of use and manageability with automatic firmware version synchronization and a single
management interface for up to 12 switches. Stacked switches can also be managed via Dell
OpenManage™ IT Assistant and Dell OpenManage Network Manager, as well as third-party SNMP-based
management console applications. Stacks with link- and switch-level redundancy and quick failover
times are capable of meeting the most demanding high availability requirements of today's global
enterprises and data centers. Most importantly, stacking provides the ability to grow your switching
capacity as your business grows. In summary, the value of stacking helps reduce your total cost of
ownership (TCO), increase your business agility, and improve your network resiliency.
