One virtual device
Once the VSF stack is formed, all interconnected switches operate as a single virtual switch with a single control plane. All interfaces of all switches in the stack are available for configuration and management.

Slot number is always fixed as 1. All interfaces are available for configuration.

A single control plane operates for the entire VSF stack.

As shown in this configuration, interfaces of all member switches can be configured from the Master.
Once a stack is deployed, the stack configuration is sticky. The user can safely remove all other configurations with the commanderase startup-configurationwithout disturbing the stack configurations. To remove all configurations, including the stacking configurations, use the commanderase all zeroize, where all members of the stack will be reset to factory defaults
