Hi All, RFC 8348 defines chassis and stack as two identities for networking equipment. The description for chassis says that* "Any class of physical component, except a stack, may be contained within a chassis; a chassis may only be contained within a stack." *First statement of this sentence seems to suggest that a chassis (which is a component) can also be contained within a chassis, while the next statement, "*a chassis may only be contained within a stack.*" seems to suggest that a chassis can be only contained within a stack and not within another chassis, which seems to contradict with the previous statement. So, which statement is correct?
Another point to clarify is that in the description for stack, "*...a stack may be contained within another stack. Only chassis components should be contained within a stack.*" Is it correct to understand that a stack can contain either another stack or a chassis, or both, but nothing else? I would appreciate the clarification. Thanks, Aihua
