Configuring a MAX stack

This section shows how to configure a stack of two MAX units. It does not show the details of
configuring hunt groups, which is an important factor for stacked MP connection. For details
about hunt groups, see Chapter 3, "Configuring WAN Access."
To configure a MAX stack, proceed as follows for each MAX in the stack:

MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide
Description
A valid, class D address, which enables IP multicasting in a
stacked-MAX environment.
Open the Ethernet > Mod Config menu and select Stack Options. For example:
Ethernet
Mod Config
RADIUS Server
Log
ATMP
Modem Ringback=Yes
AppleTalk
SNTP Server
Stack Options
UDP Checksum=No
When you press Enter, the Ethernet > Mod Config > Stack Options subprofile appears. For
example:
Ethernet
Mod Config
Stack Options
Stacking Enabled=Yes
Stack Name=maxstack-1
UDP Port=6000
Multicast Addr=
Set the Stacking Enabled parameter to Yes.
Set the Stack Name parameter to a unique name for the stack.
A stack name has 16 characters or less. This is the name members of a stack use to identify
other members of the same stack. The stack name must be unique among all MAX units
that communicate with each other, even if they are not on the same LAN.
If a MAX unit receives calls from two units on different LANs, and the two units are
members of different stacks with the same stack name, the unit receiving the calls assumes
the two MAX units with the same stack name are in the same bundle.
Note: Multiple stacks can exist on the same physical Ethernet LAN if the stacks have
different names.
Specify the UDP port parameter.
This is a reserved UDP port for intrastack communications. The UDP port must be
identical for all members of a stack, but is not required to be unique among all stacks.
Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
