Cisco Flex Stack stacking for Cisco Catalyst 2960-S Series Switches provides a true stacking solution with all switches in a Flex Stack stack acting as a single switching unit. Flex Stack provides a unified data plane, & single configuration for a group of stacked Cisco Catalyst 2960-S switches. Flex Stack lowers the total cost of ownership with built-in 1:N redundancy, high availability, & preprovisioning, not available in standalone switches. High-availability features such as Ether Channel & Flex Links will work across stack members, increasing uptime & network connectivity. As part of the Borderless Network architecture, Flex Stack allows scalable provisioning & management to deploy any number of switches quickly & easily.
