4 Managing OmniSwitch
6850 Series Stacks
In addition to their working as individual stand-alone switches, OmniSwitch 6850 Series switches can also
be linked together to work as a single virtual chassis known as a stack. With stacks, users can easily
expand their switching capacity simply by adding additional switches to the stack. In addition, stacks
provide enhanced resiliency and redundancy features. For more information, refer to page 4-3.
Note. See Chapter 2, “OmniSwitch 6850 Series Chassis and Hardware Components,” for information on
managing OmniSwitch 6850 Series switches in a stand-alone configuration.
Note. You cannot mix OS6800 and OS6850 switches in a stack.
