Monitoring stack status (Menu)

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. This helps in determining the stacking configuration for individual switches, identifying stack Members and Candidates, and determining the status of individual switches in a stack.
