If you want to apply stacking mode on Zyxel switch, please be aware of the following instructions:

1.      The device must be the same series of model.

2.      The Firmware must be the same version.

3.      The quantity and stacking ports on Zyxel switch

 Note: Once the port has become a stacking port, it cannot be used as a normal port.

4.       For XS3800, there are some stacking connection rules that you need to know.

  • One stacking channel connect to one device will work
