MS130 Virtual Stack

HI,

Does MS 130 supports virtual stack?

I dont see MS130 listed under stacking cables in the below link.

Virtual stacking is nothing more than a marketing name for the dashboards ability to edit every port in a network at once using the switch port settings page.

Physical stacking requires dedicated cables and the MS130 do not support that.

A bit like “zero touch” deployments @mloraditch

I believe the true Meraki lingo has always been:
Virtual stacking = just putting all the ports on one page (great feature, but nothing to do with the switches itself)
Physical stacking = backplane stacking with two cables
Flexible stacking = having switches transform regular ports into stacking ports which in Cisco classic is actually called virtual stacking 😜 Lovely confusion there.

Thanks for this answer, @joey.debra! I'm marking it as the solution. @faizal_vi - if this does not answer your question, please let us know what further clarifications you need.
