Hi Masnrock, <br />
<br />
Thanks for prompt reply.<br />
Apart from managing mulitply switches at once is there any advantage to a stack?<br />
Sorry i'm quite new to the whole &quot;stacking&quot; scene.<br />
Im basicly wondering if i can just use it without being part of the existing stack without any issues?<br />
<br />
Cheers

Hi Guys,<br />
<br />
We have recently had a switch die.<br />
The set up was 4 x Netgear FMS7328S.<br />
<br />
They no longer produce these any more.<br />
<br />
The replacment switch we got was a Netgear GS724TPS.<br />
<br />
When trying to add the new switch to existing stack it just sets its self as Stack master and belongs to it own seperate stack.<br />
<br />
When i log into the orignal stack master it still has the oth 2 FMS7328S switches in its stack and doesnt show the new GS724TPS switch.<br />
<br />
Can any one help me out please.<br />
<br />
I just want to add new switch to existing stack as a stack member<br />
<br />
Thanks

Netgear Switches and Stacking

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
