Configuring the stack master device

Perform the tasks in this section to configure the master device. After you complete the stack configuration,
the master automatically adds member devices to the stack.
Always start configuring the master device with assigning a private IP address pool to the stack. You
cannot perform this task after a device is configured as the master device or a member device.

Configuring a private IP address pool for the stack

Make sure the number of IP addresses in the address pool is equal to or greater than the number of
devices to be added to the stack. If not, some devices cannot join the stack for lack of private IP
addresses.
To configure a private IP address pool for the stack:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure a private IP address
pool for the stack.

Configuring stack ports

Configure the ports that connect the master to member devices as stack ports.
To configure stack ports:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure stack ports.

Creating a stack

After you execute the stack role master command, the device becomes a stack master device and
automatically adds the devices connected to its stack ports to the stack.
