Monitoring Stack Status

Using the stacking options in the menu interface for any switch in a stack, you
can view stacking data for that switch or for all stacks in the subnet (broadcast
domain). (If you are using VLANs in your stack environment, see "Stacking
Operation with a Tagged VLAN" on page 13-43.) This can help you in such ways
as determining the stacking configuration for individual switches, identifying
stack Members and Candidates, and determining the status of individual
switches in a stack. See table 13-5 on page 13-24.
