More background information that might help clarify our situation. Our locations are almost exclusively considered branch offices without dedicate on-site staff, though we do have field technicians that visit sites as needed. All the same, the number of devices (workstations, access points, IP phones, etc) warrants significant port density, and it's not uncommon for us to put 4 x 48 switches in a site, and in these cases we prefer to have a single stack for that site. While these stacks allow for easy management of all that switches at a single site, we have roughly 25 sites, and we'd prefer to manage all from a single pane of glass rather than as 25 individual stacks.
We would like to manage pre-configured stacks, but if we had to break a stack, join the switches to Central, and then re-stack, it wouldn't be the end of the world.
We are running on the 2920 almost exclusively, all running 16.03, which as of the time of this writing is the most current in GA.
Can you offer any timeline on when stacking will be supported in Central? Will you be able to manage pre-configured stacks, or will you need to join to Central and then configure the stack?
Thanks.
