Switch Stacks Create and Delete Configuration

Dashboard Location: Switching > Switch Stacks

Switch stack creation and deletion configuration in Meraki networks provides administrators with comprehensive switch aggregation and redundancy management capabilities, enabling logical switch grouping, high availability implementation, centralized management, and network resilience enhancement. This functionality supports automatic failover mechanisms, load distribution, unified configuration management, and operational simplification. Switch stacking is essential for creating resilient network architectures, reducing management complexity, providing hardware redundancy, and ensuring business continuity in enterprise switching infrastructure.

Example-1: The example below demonstrates switch stack creation configuration.

This configuration creates and manages switch stacks for increased bandwidth and redundancy. The example includes stack member assignment, priority settings, and stack topology configuration for high-availability switching infrastructure.

The switch stack named DEV_CORE includes four devices identified by environment variables: core_switch_01, core_switch_02, switch_01_name, and switch_02_name, grouping them for unified management and configuration.
