Although I've not used 'stacking' I've heard and read of it a small bit. It seems it's makes multiple switches appear as a single switch as far as managing the equipment. However, performance-wise, is there any gain to 'stacking' switches as opposed to simply interconnecting them. I'm not aware of any advantages to stacking, but if there are any, please let me know as my boss is all fired up about it, but I can't see why to bother with it?
