ABSTRACT:
A system and a method for auto-configuring stackable network devices are disclosed for automatically configuring a plurality of stackable network devices. The system for auto-configuring stackable network devices comprises: a configuration file, a command line interface (CLI) component, a switch controller and a topology manger. The method for auto-configuring stackable network devices utilizes the feature that the network device has a unique medium access control (MAC) address, to automatically performing the system configuration.
