What are the benefits of switch stacking?

Benefits of the Switch Stacking

  • It reduces the management overhead.
  • By reducing the required number of switches, it also reduces the cost of the network.
  • It allows us to add or remove switches at any time without disrupting the running network or affecting its performance.
