What is stacking and why is it needed?

Stacking allows combining several physical switches into one logical device managed as a single whole, which simplifies administration and increases the number of ports.

Does the SG5428X support static routing?

Yes, in addition to the dynamic RIP and OSPF protocols, the switch also supports static routes for simple topologies.

How does L3 Lite differ from full L3?

L3 Lite supports the basic routing functions (static, RIP, OSPF) but does not include all the advanced protocols of a full L3 switch, while maintaining an optimal balance of capabilities and cost.
