Ethernet Management Port Connection to Stack Switches using a Hub
In a stack with only stack switches, all the Ethernet management ports on the stack members are connected
to a hub to which the PC is connected. The active link is from the Ethernet management port on the stack
masterthrough the hub, to the PC. If the active switch fails and a new active switch is elected, the active link
is now from the Ethernet management port on the new active switch to the PC.
This figure displays how a PC uses a hub to connect to a switch stack.
